An old favorite from my childhood, Turf-cutter's Donkey has now been embraced by the next generation of readers in my family. An engaging blend of historical fiction and magic realism with a good dose of Irish heroic tales thrown in, this book is a very entertaining way to learn about life in rural Ireland in a simpler time. The children are always motivated by kindness and the desire to do good as they wend their way through their adventures with leprechauns, tinkers, and ordinary life.
If you enjoy this setting, I would also recommend Hilda van Stockum's Cottage at Bantry Bay trilogy.

The turfcutter donkey Patricia Lynch 9780340039885 Books Reviews

I read this while growing up and loved it. A boy and girl in rural Ireland find that the wise little grey donkey Long Ears can take them into adventures with strange people from the Celtic past. The tale is great fun and you absorb a lot of misty myths and details about rural life before telephones and plentiful cars.

Recommended for children or the young at heart. Patricia Lynch is a wonderful storyteller with a beautiful style of writing. Her people and animals become very real. There are more stories of the turf-cutter's donkey and a separate book called The King of The Tinkers.

For a more modern take on a very similar story read The Hounds of the Morrigan by Pat O'Shea, published 1985.
