Even as a child reading his books I was aware that I was in the hands of not only a master storyteller but a genuine modern day myth maker. In this collection he digs into his deep knowledge of our folk tradition and breathes fresh life into them. I am going to relish reading these to my girls in the sure knowledge that he understands what true tale-telling is. The imagination of our nation’s youth is in safe hands.
