This book definitely has my stamp of approval - it’s stunning. The Faerie Folk by Síne Quinn, illustrated by Dermot Flynn shares beautifully researched and written facts and stories about faerie folk, from the Pooka to The Charmer. The creepy illustrations are outstanding. Age 8+

"An Article from The New York Times in 1854 referring to Irish people in the US. The same old rhetoric being spewed out today by Irish people in order to suit their own agenda. Know your history, you don't get to be racist and Irish." - via Peadar Browns on FB

Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski reminds the Russian fascists: 1. Systemic theft of Ukrainian children is genocide. 2. Russia started World War 2 together with Germany by invading Poland as allies.
