I would like to thank Liz Morris for constant encouragement and Adrienne Perdue for further encouragement plus typing! Thank you, also, to Eilís French and Íde ní Laoghaire for their hard work and skilful editing and to Lynn Pierce in the art department and Barry Reynolds for the lovely illustrations. A huge thank you to fourth class, Rathfarnham Parish National School and their teacher, Ian Packham, for test-reading. A final thank you to Angus, the Enabler!
