Story teller visits Scoil Bhride

Pupils at Scoil Bhride NS had a rare treat during National Book Week when traditional story teller Eddie Lenihan came to talk to the children.

Eddie read from his own publication ‘Humorous Irish Tales for Children’
and his enchanting stories entertained and amused pupils of all ages.

His stories told of the hair-raising adventures of the Fianna, the escapades of Saint Patrick and of a world infested by monsters, ogres and foreign invaders.

Eddie Lenihan was born in Kerry and now lives in Co Clare. His publications include ‘Irish Tales of Mystery and Magic’, 'Stories of Old
Ireland for Children’, 'Long Ago by Shannonside’, 'In search of Biddy Early’ and 'Ferocious Irish Women’.

Since the visit many of these publications have been flying off the shelves in the local library.
