It's finally here! It's the eve of Samhain - the night when the Otherworld draws closer and the spirits roam abroad. You can meet a whole host of Otherworld-dwellers in Tales for the Brave, and hear their stories for yourself!
Celebrate Samhain with Tales for the Brave, a stunningly spooky collection of Celtic tales for children.
With beautiful illustrations, this is a timeless gift to be enjoyed again and again.

@jacquiS21 I loved your review. You perfectly got the atmosphere and aim of the stories and how the different storytellers bring new insights. Thank you!

Thank you BBC Cornwall and Julie @Skentelbery for a great chat about Celtic myths and folktales - even if the piskies did enjoy a moment of sabotage! Thank goodness U2 were on hand to cover for me.
Julie @Skentelbery has been chatting #celtic myths with author @RacPierce🐲- featuring 2 spooky #cornish folktales. Listen here ⬇️ https://t.co/OeBDHfqnlN
