Johnny Magory Books
Welcome to Johnny Magory’s World – Real Irish Stories about Wildlife & Heritage
by Irish author, creator & nature enthusiast Emma-Jane Leeson
What’s The Story?
Growing up in Ireland each and every night Emma-Jane’s Mammy and Daddy told her “a story about Johnny Magory”. These ‘made-up’ tales were usually derived from whatever sort of harm and devilment EJ had got up to that day and she couldn’t wait for bedtime for her mother to read a book and her father to tell her a story about what Johnny had done too!
Based on the old Irish rhyme “I’ll tell you a story about Johnny McGory. WIll I begin it? That’s all that’s in it!”, her father’s storytelling ensured EJ and her siblings went to sleep excited about their next “adventure” in the morning. And it was this excitement that flowed EJ into writing the stories of Johnny Magory and many, many more.
