Overview
If leprechauns are all you can think of when it comes to Ireland’s mythical creatures, think again!
Irish mythology is bursting with fantastical creatures and Mark Joyce’s beautifully designed trilogy – Mythical Irish Beasts, Wonders and Places – takes readers of all ages on a delightful journey through Irish folklore, full of stories of terrifying monsters, enchanted creatures, and magical sites, bringing them to life through his original illustrations.
Besides well-known supernatural beings like the Banshee and the Pooka, we also learn of unknown monsters like the 400-eyed Suileach, and the King of otters, Dobhar-Chú.
In this new edition of his bestselling Mythical Irish Beasts, Mark introduces us to eight new beasts, including Grogan and the Gruagach, the magical bird of Assaroe, and more!
