Lorcan has always needed to be first. First with the biggest basket, first with the best pumpkin, first at absolutely everything - four minutes older than his twin brother Sullivan, and determined never to let anyone forget it.
But every October, Grandda leaves one row of apple trees untouched at the edge of the orchard, and won't say why. When a strange black goat starts appearing at the hedge - watching, waiting, never quite behaving like an ordinary animal - Lorcan begins to suspect the old story Grandda tells by the fire isn't just a story after all.
Lorcan and the Púca's Share is Book 4 of The Little Legends of Ireland, a series that takes one of Ireland's oldest legends - the shape-shifting, mischievous Púca, and the old harvest tradition of leaving a farmer's last share for it - and tucks it inside the very ordinary rivalry of two competitive twin brothers. Real Irish words and phrases are woven naturally into the dialogue, with translations included, giving young readers a genuine taste of the language alongside the folklore.
Written for children ages 8-10, this illustrated chapter book continues a series retelling Ireland's oldest stories through the eyes of the children living them today - authentic Irish children's fiction that treats young readers, and the tradition it draws from, with real respect.
