The Battle Below Giltspur

CatFromHue

Did anyone read this book and it's sequels by Cormac MacRaois?

"This magical tale of power and revenge is the first in the Giltspur series. When the winds of Bealtaine blow life into their lovable scarecrow, Niamh, Daire, and their dog Rusk are drawn into a dangerous adventure. But Glasan isn't the only scarecrow to visit them. The Black One has been awakened by the power of the Bealtaine winds, Niamh and Daire find themselves drawn into a dangerous attempt to destroy the evil powers of Greyfang and Deathtooth, and the wolves of Morrigan are in waiting."

A response :eek:

Lol I was the same, I thought they were fantastic!

Certainly the attraction that they were set not too far from me (Dun Laoghaire) was great, then there was the Irish folklore aspect to it all too.

I'm just amazed that they seem to have passed so many people by?

Don't Chute!

i know i don't think i've ever met anyone who read them! strange considering how good they are

Yeah I was all over them back in the day

He came to our school circa 1991, I even have a signed photo of me and him :cool:

I saw Song of the Sea the other day and I couldn't help think of the potential for a Giltspur movie, or even movies!
