This title contains Irish folk tales with a ghastly ghostly twist! It features two tales written in Martin Waddell's inimitable lyrical style. Each story is packed with atmosphere and a twist of gentle humour. From a donkey's desire to stay with his master, however dead he might be to a little girl's mysterious disappearance and reappearance several years later, though not a day older, children will be drawn on irresistibly by these original stories. It is illustrated throughout with James Mayhew's atmospheric line drawings.
