Summary: Great lore...
Comment: I think DelNegro is a fabulous storyteller. I enjoy reading Lucy Dove to my daughter's friends, especially at sleepovers...and let's not forget about Oct. 31st! The images Gore illustrated are so beautifully errie. You feel like you have stepped right into this Celtic tale. As both an author and illustrator for children's books, I can truly appreciate the craftmanship that went into this wonderful book. I Hope there will be another retold or original tale, soon? I certainly will be the first in line!

Summary: Almost as good as hearing Janice herself tell the tale!
Comment: I am lucky enough to know Janice and have heard her telling of this story which she has put into print. If you are not so lucky, the book does an excellent job of capturing her haunting, original tale. The ghostly illustrations set the mood for a graveyard trek. Lucy, the elderly and brave heroine, has that look of determination of one who will not be put down.

In almost lyrical prose, inspired by traditional Celtic lore, an elderly woman is the brave heroine who sets out to meet a challenge issued by the laird. The illustrations support, rather than compete, with this tale of a strong woman, but it is the words, imagined in the minds of readers or listeners, that truly cast the spell.

Summary: A haunting story with Caldecott-worthy illustrations.
Comment: Lucy Dove is up for the challenge of seeing if there really is a ghost in the graveyard. She takes the challenge and succeeds, overcoming the odds and beating the monster. With all of the urban legend hype nowadays, Lucy Dove proves one urban legend in her town true- and lives to tell the tale!
