More DescriptionThe heart of Donal O¿Donnell, like his farmhouse door, has been bolted shut since the day his son died. So when he returns from tending his puck goats in the freezing sleet of a winter storm to find three huddled peddlers sitting at his hearth, he is furious with his wife, Sorcha. But then the three peddlers -- Donal O¿Sheary, Donal O¿Neary and Donal O¿Leary -- begin to tell tales -- tales of marvels and of mysteries. Slowly Donal O¿Donnell and Sorcha begin to imagine a wonder greater than they had ever hoped for. The story of this wonder is told in the interweaving of four traditional Irish tales with illustrations that are themselves full of marvels and mysteries. Author¿s Note. Reinforced library binding.
