Product description

The four children of King Lir are happy when their father marries again. Aoife, their new stepmother is very kind to them. But in her secret heart she is jealous of the children, and uses her magic powers to cast a spell on them, changing them from children into swans. They spend long years on lonely lakes and frozen seas, until one day the spell is broken and they are human again. Though everyone they loved is long gone, they know they are home at last… Part of the popular Poolbeg In a Nutshell series, this book tells an enduring Irish legend in a snappy modern style, which fuses clear yet exciting text with dramatic and action-packed line illustrations.
