A brave young girl rows out to meet her destiny in a lavishly
illustrated original tale steeped in fairy lore, from a traditional
Irish storyteller.
A daughter embarks on a perilous journey to rescue her father in this
beautiful, eerie, and timeless original folktale. Eily and her father
live in Ireland, three fields from the sea, within sight of the
enchanted isle of Lisnashee. The fairy folk who live there cause
mischief and harm to any who trespass, but once a year at Midsummer,
Eily's father, the Fog Catcher, rows out to collect magic from the fog
around the island. His sole protection is a charm tucked in his pocket,
and when Eily finds the lost charm in a hedgerow after he departs, she
knows at once what she must do. Haunting watercolor paintings evoke the
beauty of the Irish coastline in an imaginative coming-of-age tale about
honoring the past and taking courage with an open heart.
