Description

Derry Folk Tales by Madeline McCully is a lively collection of stories that bring to life the rich folklore of County Derry. Within its pages, you'll discover tales of mythical creatures and legendary figures, as well as darker, more cautionary stories that have been passed down through generations. From the legend of St Columba, who is said to have protected the city from lightning strikes, to the story of Abhartach, Ireland's vampire, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and mythology of Derry. Richly illustrated with enchanting line drawings, these well-loved stories are sure to be enjoyed and shared time and again. Madeline McCully's retellings of these folk tales bring them to life in a way that will appeal to readers and inspire further exploration of Ireland's rich cultural heritage.
