<em>Brave Maeve</em>: children’s book

Follow Brave Maeve as she adventures through enchanted places, encountering characters from Irish myth and legend.

The book was written and illustrated by Stuart Harrison, in Liverpool, featuring his friend’s daughter. Celebrating characters from thousands of years of Irish and Liverpudlian folklore, Brave Maeve is an energetic romp through time and tale.

Stu will be on hand to chat about his book and give kids a chance to pose with an illustrated Brave Maeve, sword, Tir Na nÓg book and/or púca at
