Description

A fresh and entertaining introduction to many of the weirdest creatures from Irish lore as seen through the eyes of Fantasius Farrelly, perfect for anyone who has ever wondered about the things lurking in the dark.

Immerse yourself in the world of Ireland’s ancient magic. Drawing on the faded pages of his great-granduncle Fantasius’s notebooks, John Farrelly reveals the secrets of the Irish Faerie folk. From legendary beings like banshees and shape-shifting pookas to the watchful skeagh shee and the ferocious dobhar-chú, this field guide tells you everything you need to know about the creatures of Irish folklore and where to find them. A compendium of Ireland’s most astonishing mythical beings.

John Farrelly was born and raised in a village just outside Newry, Co. Down. After dropping out of art college because all he wanted to do was write stories and draw pictures, he became a freelance caricature artist. He always did a full day’s work – he just spread it over the whole week. Finally, after a three-day siege, where no one was injured and all hostages were released, The O’Brien Press let him write stories and draw pictures.
