Author Information

Born within earshot of the Irish sea, Ethna Sheehan grew up listening to old tales carried on the wind and learning her first love of story in a convent classroom. After moving to New York, she continued her studies at Hunter College and Columbia University before becoming Head of Library Work with Children for the Queens Borough Public Library. A librarian with an adventurer's heart, Sheehan spent her life gathering stories that shimmered with goodness and beauty. Her selections for this treasury reflect a simple belief: give children luminous stories, and their imaginations will remember the light.
