Mary is a retired midwife and began to write these stories for her daughters to preserve the legacy of her grandmothers lore. However, the project gathered momentum and instead of putting the stories into a folder, she had them published into this beautiful book through the Northern Standard in Monaghan. Demand for the book was extraordinary in the lead up to Christmas in Monaghan town which took the author by complete surprise. She has received such wonderful feed back from readers in how the stories resonated with them. It has brought the Sidhe back to life in the memories of those who had forgotten them. The authors wish is for people to enjoy the stories, to relax into them and go back to a time where the oral traditions around the hearth fires kept these stories alive.
