The Bantry Bay SeriesWritten and Illustrated by Hilda van Stockum
The Cottage at Bantry Bay * Francie on the Run * Pegeen
The Cottage at Bantry BayThe first of the trilogy featuring the O'Sullivan family of Bantry Bay, Ireland. As the author described:
The Cottage is small, and there is never too much of
anything and sometimes hardly enough; but to the four children --
Michael and Brigid and the twins, Liam and Francie -- it is the center
of a delightful world where each one in the family takes part in caring
for the rest.
Mother O'Sullivan knows how to comfort or play
with the children, and Father can tell grand stories when he has time.
Father's sprained ankle gives time for stories, and makes it necessary
for Michael and Brigid to take a thrilling trip across the mountain to
sell the donkey.
The twins are masters of innocent mischief
amusing to hear about, and Paddy the Piper brings romance form over the
mountain and a good time at the Bantrytown fair.
