| 520 | _a"The Laughter of Peterkin: A retelling of old tales of the Celtic Wonderworld" by Fiona MacLeod is a collection of children's stories likely written in the late 19th century. This book engages with themes rooted in Celtic mythology, exploring the marvelous adventures and whimsical life of a young boy named Peterkin, who embodies the essence of childhood wonder and delight. His experiences intermingle with ancient tales, notably the poignant stories of the Children of Lir. At the start of this enchanting tale, we are introduced to Peterkin, a child curious about the moonlight and the magic it brings. The opening scene captures his awakening to a night filled with wonder—he encounters tiny, ethereal beings amidst the branches of a poplar tree, sparking joy and laughter within him. This whimsical atmosphere continues as Peterkin navigates his garden with childlike innocence, longing for the hidden fairy folk and the adventures they might bring. He is comforted by stories from Ian Mor, who tells him of the Children of Lir, introducing themes of transformation, love, and loss while planting seeds of imagination in Peterkin's heart. The beginning of the book sets a tone that is both light-hearted and profound, inviting readers into a world where laughter and longing coexist beautifully.
