The Magical Irish Garden Sanctuary

The focus of this blog is Leonbergers including Leonberger book reviews. However,  sometimes I post about books that are not about Leonbergers but that are books on other topics that I love and want to promote.

Amazon’s Description of Tales From the Irish Garden

In the Irish Garden there is fantasy, magic, friendship and love to be found in this green and welcoming haven. For some of those who find their way to the garden there is a renewal and an awakening of the spirit and special gifts lost through tragedy. For others it is the end of a long and arduous journey to find their soulmate.

The Irish garden has been a sanctuary for centuries for those escaping persecution, invaders and grief. Its guardian is the storyteller, a man who has lived for hundreds of years and who is part of a network of guardians around the world, offering a safe haven to those worthy of their protection.

It is not only humans who travel from afar to this garden, but animals which are hurt or lost. One creature in particular has travelled across time following the elusive melody remembered from its time in an ancient civilisation, a cat who has reached its ninth life.

For others it is the end of a long and arduous journey to find their soulmate.

You are welcome to join the storyteller, Finn, Lilah, Ramon, Michael, Bebechat and Flaco in the garden to enjoy their company, discover their stories and be amused at some of the antics they get up to as they finally find a peaceful home to call their own.

This is my five star review for the book: Tales From the Irish Garden: The Missing Pieces by Sally Cronin

There is a Magical Garden in Ireland

There is a magical garden in Ireland where persecuted healers, mistreated animals, and others can seek refuge. It is a beautiful sanctuary with flowers, birds and cottages. It is overseen by its guardian the Storyteller, an ancient practitioner of the magic arts. He is several hundred years old and does not seem to age. He is able to talk to fairies, animals, and other creatures. The Storyteller cannot have a large group of friends and marriage is not a good idea for him, because of his immortal existence and magical abilities. People seek refuge at his sanctuary, and he welcomes them, helps them and protects them. They live happy lives in the magical garden until they pass on.

In this book we meet several fascinating characters in need of help including Finnegan, Lilah, Bebechat, Michael, Gabriel, Ramon and others. There are people who are intolerant and egotistical, men with evil hearts who wish to harm others, but they cannot enter the sanctuary. That is to protect the innocent. There is adventure, gripping and scary moments, but peace wins. I found the adventures in this book captivating and the description of the magical garden and the Storyteller comforting. The book is very imaginative and fun to read. I highly recommend this book.
