Boggarts and gowks, fools and hobgoblins are only some of the strange and wonderful creatures in A Bag of Moonshine, Alan Garner's collection of stories chosen from the folklore of England and Wales.

Children will be enchanted with these tales -- of the Welsh boys who hooked a salmon that pulled him back into the river and demanded to be his sweetheart; of Colloo's baby that bounced out of its cradle and whirled round the kitchen to the tune of Hom Bridson's fiddle. There's the sad, beautiful story of Hewin and his bride Belenay, who came to hi out of the lake and the tale of he strange little man, Harry-Cap, who pointed three brothers towards their varying fortunes.
