- year
- old Luke Silke & Danielle Furey & David O' Brien, aged twelve, lived on the Aran Islands. One day as they were playing on the strand they saw a figure loom out of the haze. A huge white horse with silver shoes emerged & galloped across the waves towards them
- it was Princess Niamh, Cinn-Oir, of the Golden Hair. When the children asked if they could visit Tir na n Og Niamh said that, although, her horse was big & strong enough to carry all of them, it would be dangerous. If for any reason they dismounted & stayed any length of time in Tir na n Og, they might never be able to return to their own time & place. They decided to go with her & witnessed the re-union of Oisin, & Niamh, but then they had to figure out how to get back home...

Tips From Your Nana

Those of us living in the so-called Western World have looked at life a little differently lately. Turns out those hippies were right - building a society based on buying stuff then chucking it out hasn't left us in a great place. "Tips From Your Nana" is a book designed to help you take the power back, with a minimum of effort. It will help you save the environment, it will help you save society, and better yet - let's face it, we're children of our time - it will help you save money. Hidden in pockets of our world are people who still know how to do stuff. Some of them remember the Great Depression, or a few of the not-so-great ones since. Some of them were original greenies back in the day. Some of them are bright young Gen-Y types who realised self sufficiency was cool again
before the rest of us did. Some of them grew up in countries where 'supermarkets' and 'supplies' are foreign concepts. A whole lot of them have been brought together in this book to show you how to do a huge range of basic things in a really easy way. Key points are as follows: fun, funny, funky and seriously useful; arriving with perfect timing to help readers survive global disaster; a how-to guide with a target audience; tips range from changing a tap washer to using excess homegrown courgettes; includes all sorts of tips from all sorts of Nanas and others; re-discovers all those discarded bits of Nana advice nobody wanted to hear. Also available: "Tips From Your Grandad".
