Faoin Sceach Gheal
Like most school libraries we had a copy of Under the Hawthorn Tree in our classroom. It was one of those books that I loved to curl up with and read. One that I read a few times a year and loved it more even more each time I read it. So when I was asked to review the Irish version I was thrilled.
