Children's author, Susan Benedict, has recently published, Matthew's Tale: The Fairies' Gift. Mattie and Mary's father taught his children to respect the fairies' wishes to live their private lives. In Ireland people go about their business and leave the fairies to go about theirs. When Mattie and Mary actually see the fairies, will they remember their father's teaching?
Don't mess with the fairies! The charm of this book lives in the adventure, the setting, and the language. So true, it seems, to the Ireland of my grandmother, green and misty and magical. Rebecca Rule, humorist, storyteller and author of The Iciest, Diciest, Scariest Sled Ride Ever
​
In this magical tale, Benedict and Mugan lead us into Yeats country with the danger of fairies pouring from a broken bough, moving on a "moon-filled oiche. Terry Farish, author of Joseph's Big Ride and Luis Paints the World
