An excellent blend of myth and music and Kinvara. Entertaining story with some interesting characters from Irish myth and legend and the type of people you meet in Galway city or county occasionally. I liked the blending of modern and myth in this one, well worth a read. It did take me a while t...

Sly, sly little book. I read it for the Dick Turpin angle, I would recommend it for kids just starting in chapter books, or anyone who's big on street urchins and highwaymen.I'll be reading more Thompson. This reminds me of Twain and "The Ransom of Little Chief", as well as my beloved Scarlett Ang...
