It is a cold Christmas Eve in the mountains. Two children from a poor family set out through the snow to the church in the city, to present their few coins as a gift for the Christ Child. On the way, Elder Brother stops to take care of a beggar woman who is struggling through the winter weather, and Younger Brother sets off alone to find help for the woman. When he finally reaches the church, Younger Brother is almost overcome by awe at the splendour of the building and the wealth of the people there. He summons up courage to present his gift - and then the miracle happens. The ancient legend is fulfilled and the bells start to ring: his is the gift truly worthy of the Christ Child.

A Gift for the Christ Child

This beautifully crafted picture story book describes the life of Ireland's patron saint, Patrick. The book draws on both legend and his own writings to tell the thrilling story of how the boy-slave returned to the land of his captivity to preach the Christian message of faith. The luminous illustrations evoke the Celtic land of St. Patrick and the light he shone into a dark world of cruelty and superstition.

Patrick, Saint of Ireland

First published in 1990, Midnight Blue marked the arrival of a powerful new voice in children's fiction. Bonnie, a young teenager, escapes the harsh reality of her mother's weakness and her grandmother's hatred by flying to another, kinder world. There, with the mysterious Shadow Boy, she discovers a life that is both healing and disturbing. But, unwittingly, she opens the way for the malevolent Grandbag, with chilling consequences. Pauline Fisk's compelling writing is reminiscent of the fantasy of Alan Garner and the magical realism of David Almond.
