Focusing on the mythological narratives that influence Irish
children's literature, this book examines the connections between
landscape, time and identity, positing that myth and the language
of myth offer authors and readers the opportunity to engage with
Ireland's culture and heritage. It explores the recurring patterns
of Irish mythological narratives that influence literature produced
for children in Ireland between the nineteenth and the twenty-first
centuries. A selection of children's books published between 1892,
when there was an escalation of the cultural pursuit of Irish
independence and 2016, which marked the centenary of the Easter
1916 rebellion against English rule, are discussed with the aim of
demonstrating the development of a pattern of retrieving,
re-telling, remembering and re-imagining myths in Irish children's
literature. In doing so, it examines the reciprocity that exists
between imagination, memory, and childhood experiences in this body
of work.
