Richard G. Love

With a strong family background of Irish story telling, Richard has created his own oral interpretations of traditional tales from the Emerald Isle. Has presented these in the past at a number of venues – hopefully in our auditorium shortly!

This has obviously been a source of inspiration for his  children’s book – The Magical Adventures of Seamus the Leprechaun which has been such a delight to many of our residents. At present a copy is in the Library. It is expected that a sequel will be available before the end of 2005.

*****************

The second in the series of Seamus the Leprechaun books is available in the library at a cost of $8 of which the library receives a $2.50 donation. The book is beautifully illustrated and is ideal for grandchildren from 5 to 11.

Thank you Richard Love.
