Like the characters are going from island to island and there's a whole thing in Irish mythology called the Himraim.

In English, it's the voyages.

So the hero went off on a voyage and they went to various islands.

And every time they arrived, it was something extraordinary, you know, strange animals.

And it was kind of the other world as well.

And in this book, there's a little girl who's looking for a new home because her home has been destroyed by a volcano.

And she's going from island to island.

And on every island, there's a reason not to settle there.

Mm hmm.

So there was that bit of Irish mythology.

That bit was in it, Clare.

There you go.

You see, you're speaking my language.

It's called the fujimara.

I love it.

Go on, explain it to me.

Fujimara is a turf, like a piece of turf, a piece of grass that would lead you astray.

It was the fairies.

So people would be coming home from the pub.

Yes, people would be coming home from the pub.
