Tir Na Nog Moving to Lisdoonvarna

Nine-year-old Aine becomes rebellious when she learns that she is to move from her idyllic surroundings at Rockville, in County Clare. Living halfway up a mountain in the Burren has given her an affinity with the earliest inhabitants of that place - the Celts, which will be with her throughout her life Aine's grandfather, a retired headmaster, concerned about her reaction to the forthcoming move, decides to prepare her, not merely for the change which is due to take place, but also for life's journey. For Aine his story became a fascinating, frustrating, rollercoaster of emotions, which relied on her unbounded love and admiration for him, to keep her steadfast throughout. It was to be a story for which she learned to be truly grateful as she journeyed onwards: one which helped to explain why he had chosen that out-of-the-way place to spend his life, helping others to get the best out of theirs. This is the story that Aine shares with her grandson, as they spend time in her favourite place: the place of her childhood, believing that this will prepare him, as it did her, for whatever is to come.
