The golden spears, and other fairy tales

"The Golden Spears and Other Fairy Tales" by Edmund Leamy is a collection of magical stories that capture the spirit of Irish folklore. These tales follow the adventures of young children, like Connla and Nora, as they step into extraordinary worlds, meet curious beings, and embark on unforgettable journeys. In one story, Connla and Nora, who live near a mountain called "Golden Spear", save a thrush from a hawk, which promises to let them experience fairy music. Following the thrush’s guidance, they soon come across nine pipers, who lead them to a land of fairy magic. The stories are filled with wonder, as they pull readers into a world full of adventure and magic.
