Ireland is a magical land steeped in folklore. Fairies, leprechauns, banshees and pookas are the most well-known of our magical creatures, but every corner of the island has its own myths and legends about fierce giants, enchanted animals, brave warriors and otherworldly phantoms. In this beautifully designed book Mark Joyce brings these fearsome beasts to life with his unique, full colour illustrations based on descriptions from medieval manuscripts.

Through these pages we are taken on a fantastic journey through Irish folklore with stories of monsters and demons, and the heroes who defeated them, providing us with an incredible visual history of the ancient charm of Ireland.
