A special thanks to Denis Burke in Cleveland for the Irish stories!
There’s nothing like visiting Ireland -it’s an amazing place. I brought home several books that have helped me better understand what I saw on our trips. For more information on the Beara Peninsula, I recommend Beara: The Unexplored Peninsula by Francis Twomey and Tony McGettigan (Woodpark Publications); the Ordnance Survey’s The Beara Way (Wayfarer Series); The Stone Circles of Cork & Kerry by Jack Roberts (Bandia Publishing). Among my favorites of the countless books on Irish folktales is Irish Folktales, edited by Henry Glassie (Pantheon Books).
Finally, many thanks to thank my editor, Margaret Marbury, and to everyone at MIRA Books for their support, patience, creativity and thoughtfulness.
Thank you!
