Praise for Bedtime Stories: incredible Irish
Tales from the Past

"Each illustrator brings their unique style to each story,
making the book as attractive as it is informative." Through
the Bookshelf

"This treasure trove of a collection feels very nostalgic,
with a use of language and turn of phrase that naturally lends itself
to being read aloud. Each story ends with an ‘Explore
the Story’ short series of facts that encourage the reader
to engage further by visiting museums or historical sites. Perfect
for the classroom, or, as intended, just before
bed..." Childrens Books Ireland
