A Fire In His Head: The Adventures Of

Aengus, the god of love, embarks into the unknown in pursuit of the girl of his dreams. The result is a unique fantasy adventure that takes the theme of W. B. Yeats's poem "The Song of Wandering Aengus" as its motif, and draws into its telling a rich Celtic legacy of myth, legend, and language. This book is distributed for O'Brien Press, Dublin and is for sale only in the United States, it's territories and dependencies, Canada, and the Philippines.

Loreto Todd is Professor of English at the University of Ulster, Coleraine. Born in Northern Ireland, she attended Queen's University, Belfast, where her classmates included poet Seamus Heaney and writer Seamus Deane.
