"A kind but poor peddler is visited three times in his dreams by St. Patrick. The good saint tells him to head for Dublin and wait on the bridge over the river Liffey, for there he will hear good news. . . . Johnson's acrylic paintings capture the beauty of the Irish countryside, from small country lanes to a beautiful nighttime view of Dublin".—"School Library Journal". Full color.
