Winner of the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, The New Policeman takes readers on a visit to Tír na n’ Óg, the land of eternal youth. J J Liddy’s mother wants just one thing for her birthday – Time. The only place you might get it is a place where time goes at a different speed.

The result is a warmhearted story drawing together a wealth of myths and legends against a background full of music, poetry told by a master storyteller who weaves magic and reality into a beautiful whole.
