"A simple, informative and engaging way of learning about some of history's most exciting tales."
"The In a Nutshell series is a wonderful way to introduce children to some of Ireland's best-loved myths and legends, it's a history lesson, yes, but a fun, colourful one, and the witty tone means it will appeal to mums and dads too. Highly recommended (Mothers & Babies Magazine, Irish Independent)
The four children of King Lir are happy when their father marries again. Aoife, their new stepmother is very kind to them. But, in her heart, she is jealous of the children and uses her secret magic powers to cast a spell on them, changing them from children into swans. They spend long years on lonely lakes and frozen seas, until one day the spell is broken, and they are human again. Though everyone they loved is long gone, they know they are home at last.
