Seller's Description:
Will Hillenbrand color illustrations. New in New jacket. Book CONDITION: NEW 1999 Holiday House hardcover (yellow boards) & dust jacket, first edition, assumed first printing. Entertaining color illustrations by Will Hillenbrand. CONTENT: This is the legend of Ireland's most charming snake wrangler, St. Patrick. Centuries ago, Patrick (not yet a saint) proved that even the most patient of men can lose his temper when it comes to slimy reptiles. A gang of laughing, hissing snakes that teases his aged and ailing dog, Finbar, proves the last straw for Patrick. He drives the slithering creatures off the Emerald Isle and into the sea? save for one, the "biggest, oldest, sneakiest snake in all of Ireland." The lone creature incessantly shadows Patrick, who soon devises a plan to trap the snake and set it out to sea with the others. After much effort and a bit of derring-do, Patrick sends the snake to the depths of Loch Ness in nearby Scotland. Years later, when Patrick finally returns to check on the snake, he finds something much, much bigger. MacGill-Callahan combines two pieces of colorful lore in a crisp and breezy text that depicts a religious figure at his most human and appealing. In Hillenbrand's softly hued pastel and watercolor paintings, snowy-bearded Patrick has the predominantly sweet countenance of a Santa Claus, while his beady-eyed nemesis is all forked-tongued nastiness. The rolling green countryside and vast blue waters evoke Ireland's timeless landscape. Ages 4-8.
