Why The Moon Travels

A haunting collection of twenty fantastical stories rooted in the oral tradition of the Irish Traveller community. Brave vixens, prophetic owls and stalwart horses live alongside the human characters. They serve as guides, protectors, friends and foes while spirits, giants and fairies blur the lines between this world and the otherworld. Collected by Oein DeBhairduin throughout his childhood, retold in his iconic style and beautifully illustrated by Leanne McDonagh.
