Synopsis

In "As the Goose Flies," Katharine Pyle masterfully intertwines the charm of folklore with the intricacies of human emotion and nature. This enchanting narrative, rich in vivid imagery and lyrical prose, invites readers on a journey through the heart of rural America, reflecting the friendship between humans and wildlife. Pyle's literary style is deeply influenced by her fascination with the natural world, as well as her desire to convey deeper ethical and moral values, which resonate throughout her work, offering a poignant exploration of community and the passage of time. Katharine Pyle, a prominent figure in the early 20th century American literature, drew upon her rich background in illustration and storytelling to craft narratives that appeal to both the young and the mature reader. Her exploration of various themes, such as kinship with the earth and the interconnectedness of all beings, is particularly evident in this work. Pyle's upbringing, surrounded by nature and her artistic inclinations, paved the way for a unique storytelling approach that blends fantasy with realism. "As the Goose Flies" is a remarkable addition to the canon of American children's literature, and it beckons to readers of all ages to reconnect with nature and the world around them. This book not only entertains but also imparts valuable life lessons, making it a quintessential read for those who appreciate the beauty of storytelling and the profound messages interwoven within.

    These are six brilliant and enthralling stories that, while making you both laugh and cry,  also leave you desperate to know what happens next.  A nineteenth-century Ireland is depicted; steeped in the supernatural, it's a place where both humans and fairies collide, both refusing to be defeated in their quest for the freedom to govern their own lives.
    
    We witness the friendship between Tipperary farmer Darby O'Gill and King Brian Connors of the Good People grow. These two, who first thought that the differences between them meant that they were forever mortal enemies, later realise that circumstances unite rather than divide them. The stories also celebrate the most powerful fairy of them all, the Banshee, who is not really the scary villain that people sometimes imagine, but rather a career-minded, kind-hearted messenger from the Otherworld.
    
    Brian McManus has made some changes to the original stories to present them to modern readers at their absolute best, while still remaining true to the spirit and intention of Herminie Templeton Kavanagh.
    
    These delightful tales of genuine Irish folklore, full of charm, wittiness, and poignancy, will appeal to children of all ages.
