"This compilation of twelve short, Celtic narratives evoked giggles, banter, and deep thoughts from my kids," said publisher Amy Doyle. "As I researched the plethora of ancient Celtic narratives, I read the legends to my younger kids who are 8 and 10. If they tuned out, I knew to keep digging. If they were engaged and asked questions about the story, I knew I'd found the leprechaun's gold. Their questions even led me to add on the 'Extras for Brainy Bards' section toward the back of the book. It allows readers to dig deeper into their favorite stories by discussing true facts about some of the legends. Modern day morals and thought-provoking questions are also provided in the "Extras" section so that parents, grandparents, and teachers can work through them with pre-teen readers." So, stake your Family-Time flag firmly in a comfy spot, put away the sibling battle swords, and enjoy these tried-and-true enchanting tales with your giants, kings, and warrior queens!
