Hardcover. First edition (& 1st printing). Original anthology of Young Adult stories and poems by Irish writers, illustrated throught by P. J. Lynch. Featuring 11 short stories and 6 poems curated specifically for young readers aged 10 and older. Compiled by Artemis Fowl author Eoin Colfer during his time as the Laureate na nÓg (Irish Children's Laureate), the collection is bound together by the distinct theme of physical geography and setting - every single piece in the anthology is rooted in, or deeply inspired by, a specific location across the island of Ireland. Instead of sticking to one traditional genre, the anthology offers a vibrant mix of storytelling styles and tones. Readers will find eerie supernatural tales and ghost stories, including a uniquely perspective-shifting piece narrated by a corpse that does not yet realise it has died. These fantastical elements sit alongside clever detective mysteries with sharp plot twists, as well as grounded, contemporary dramas. A notable example of the latter is a moving story by Jane Mitchell, which follows two young immigrant siblings who discover a sense of sanctuary inside a fenced-in park. SIGNED BY BOTH EDITOR AND ILLUSTRATOR, PLUS THREE OF THE CONTRIBUTORS. First printing with ''10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1'' ON COPYRIGHT PAGE. Fine copy in a fine dustjacket (as new). Signed.…
