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 watercolour paintings evoke the beauty of the
Irish coastline in an imaginative coming-of-age tale about
honouring the past and taking courage with an open heart.
