Why the moon travels

by Oein DeBhairduin

Why the moon travels is a haunting collection of twenty tales rooted in the oral tradition of the Irish Traveller community.

Brave vixens, prophetic owls and stalwart horses live alongside the human characters as guides, protectors, friends and foes while spirits, giants and fairies blur the lines between this world and the otherworld.

Collected by Oein DeBhairduin throughout his childhood, retold in his lyrical style, and beautifully illustrated by Leanne McDonagh.

120 pages.
