THE TURF CUTTER’S DONKEY
An Irish story of mystery and adventure, this, in which the modern matter-of-fact air is preserved and carried into the realm of fantasy. Eileen and Seamus are very real jieople, hut so is their magic donkey and the leprechaun, the little Irish Elf man who turned himself into an old ragged person with a white pig. An air of freshness and natural simplicity makes this book of Ireland Episodes far more than a fairy tale. It embraces the folk lore and traditions of the Irish mysteriously yet with a vein of conviction that makes the story very real. Patricia Lynch is the author and her book has been illustrated by Jack B. Yeats in penwork and colour, full of the atmosphere of Ireland. <s><s><s><s> <3><s><s>
