Tales from the Land of Erin — (1985) Publisher: ‘Time flew by. In a flash the Sidhe had used their magic to build themselves a castle of marble. Then, as the clouds raced across the sky like a speeded- up film, their enemies swarmed in, demon folk looking like huge snakes, riding demon horses that looked like dragons. In seconds the battle had begun…’ The story of The Sunken Town is just one of the many legends from Ireland’s distant past that Michael Scott has brought vividly to life. Here are tales of fabulous creatures and fearsome warriors, of ancient gods and heroes of old, all woven together into a magical evocation of bygone times.

Tales of the Bard — (1987-1989) Publisher: A figure stepped out from beneath the trees-and the bard stopped in his tracks. The shape was man-like, a head and taller than Paedur, as thin as a sword — and completely enveloped from head to foot in a cloak of seared and withered leaves. ‘Bard come forth; face me.’ So begin the extraordinary adventures of Paedur the Bard. Confronted by the hideous figure of Mannam, Lord of the Dead, Sovereign of the Silent Wood, a perilous deal is struck. And in the course of its mysterious fulfilment, Paedur travels through awesome, magical realms of enchantment, terror and brutal powers, where the forces of darkness are always at his heels, threatening to engulf the enlightenment he so boldly upholds…

Ken and Ally are befriended by Paedur, the wise young bard and his companion Faolan, son of the Windlord, who has entrusted with a sacred task. Pursued relentlessly by Balor’s warriors on route to the icy Northlands, this unlikely band of heroes find that time is running out — will they be able to rescue the secret of the wind? Can they rescue Faolan’s family? Can they find a returning Ken and Ally to their own time.
