Charming Irish Tale

The O'Sullivans are a family living in Ireland in the 1930s. Mother and Father and Michael and Brigid are often at their wits end dealing with the mischievous but loveable twins, Liam and Francie.Hilda Van Stockum brings her characteristic wit, understanding of children and enchantment to the simplicity of family life. It is chock full of delightful adventures and sub-plots from a bygone era. Brush up on your brogue and prepare for a delightful read-aloud for the whole family. The sequels - *Francie on the Run* and *Pegeen* are wonderful too. *Pegeen* is our favorite.

a sweet, well told story

Great story to read aloud to kids. Characters are spunky and positive. We went through the three books of this series non-stop.
