Finn and the Wild Goose Review:
This was such a fun children’s novel based on Irish folklore and I loved everything about it.
The characters are just adorable. Firstly, I loved Finn and his relationship with Granda. Their bond was wonderful and special and made the story stand out. Also, the author immediately sets the tone for the book when you see the creepy manner in which Finn sees the Banshee’s face on his family. As the story progresses, you fall in love with some of the characters like Aileen, Fergus and Kelpie. Even King Colm is goofy in this own way. Even Evie is just adorable and so cute.
Moreover, the author tells the story in such a beautiful and unique manner that you cannot help but fall in love with it. I loved the concept of “The Word, The Work and the Wind” and feel it’s a phrase that we can all connect to in our daily lives. At the same time, I also loved the poems that Granda recites as it adds a whimsical touch to the tale. Similarly, the author also imparts valuable morals where you shouldn’t judge a book based on its cover, as nothing is what it appears to be. On a side note, I also adored how there is a pronunciation guide to the various terms (which was fun when I realized I pronounced some incorrectly). The illustrations also added a wonderful touch to the book!
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would definitely re-read it. It’s a wonderful book to pick if you are in the mood for a nice Children’s fairy tale novel with an Irish touch.
I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the Finn and the Wild Goose by Sammy Horner Blog Tour hosted by Love Books Tours.
