A gorgeously illustrated anthology of the mystical world of Ireland.

Uncover the secrets of our island in this engrossing look at magical landmarks across the country.

Discover the dobharchú or water hound of Achill Island; the enchanted sow Cailcheir of Sligo's Keash Caves; the Burren's ollphéist or great serpent; the Caoránach or hairy worm of Lough Derg; the one-eyed salmon of Ballyshannon; and the man wolves of Ossory, County Kilkenny, amongst many others. This stunning gift book is a feast for the eyes for Manchán fans of all ages.
