I received this book from Little Island in exchange for an honest review.
Once Upon a Place is a lovely compilation of short stories and poems made for children in mind, all set in Ireland, about Irish families and people growing up in Ireland and all embrued with some sort of magic that only Ireland deliveries. Some of the magic in this book is from fables and myths, with sparks and wonder - and some of it is the magic of the ordinary, of the peace in a quiet day in the Phoenix Park, and the feeling of being with family.
I really enjoyed the majority of stories in this book - my favourites belonging to John Connolly and Eoin Colfer. I think this is a great book for kids and adults alike, and is also full of some lovely illustrations as well!
