Works

Patricia Lynch, Storyteller, published by Liberties Press in 2005, is a biography of one of Ireland's most popular authors of children's books. Young discusses the author's life and work, shedding light on her relationship with her family and her husband, R. M. Fox, on her dealings with her various publishers, and on the creation of her many books. Although often overlooked in the past, Patricia Lynch is arguably the finest children's author Ireland has ever produced. Her writing includes The Turf-Cutter's Donkey, which was illustrated by Jack Yeats, and the Brogeen series.[2]
