Mick’s father creates an imaginary battle between God’s angel and a banshee to reassure three-year old Ed during the historic event of The Night of the Big Wind (Irish: Oíche na Gaoithe Móire) 26 January 1839 in Ireland and England.

Mr. Muldoon depicted the battle between good and evil in a way that a small child might understand. The terrifying noise, unusual night without its typical comforts of a fire in the hearth, and other unsettling events. (When you read the book, you’ll discover more about it in Chapter 5).
