Summary "Kathleen in Ireland" by Etta Blaisdell McDonald and Julia Dalrymple is a children’s novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Kathleen who explores various aspects of life in Ireland, including folklore, family, and the beauty of her homeland. The narrative is rich with the traditions and landscapes of Ireland, offering a blend of adventure and learning primarily through Kathleen's experiences with her family and fairy tales. The opening of the story introduces Kathleen and her blind sister, Mary Ellen, as they play together in a beautiful, lush Irish landscape. Kathleen recounts tales of leprechauns and fairies, basing her hopes on finding a way to help Mary Ellen gain her sight. As the two children engage in whimsical conversations about the fairy shoemaker and their father, a shoemaker himself, the reader is immersed in the warm, welcoming culture of Ireland. The dialogue highlights the innocence and curiosity of childhood while foreshadowing Kathleen’s adventurous spirit and her deep love for her family, especially her sister, which sets the stage for their journey through the mystical and historical landscapes of Ireland.
