Irish Folk Tales

The Slua Shee

This is one of Trina's earliest books.  Number 7, by my count, not counting textbooks and magazines. It's typical of her early fantasy style:  A large graphic element, a cat, innumerable faerie creatures morphing together without defined outline, and characteristic hand written caption.

Pippa's Song

The year's at the spring,

And day's at the morn;

Morning's at seven;

The hillside's dew-pearled;

The lark's on the wing;

The snail's on the thorn;

God's in His heaven - 

All's right with the world!

by Robert Browning
