Book 2: A Tale of 3 Bears and 2 Queens

Step back into the enchanting world of Gráinne Bear: The beloved Newport bear whose ancestors were rescued by the Pirate Queen herself. After the excitement of Book 1, the Bears are back… and this time they’re off on a real West of Ireland adventure.

In A Tale of 3 Bears and 2 Queens, Gráinne Bear leads young readers from Newport to Westport and on to the Granuaile Museum in Louisburgh. What begins as a simple day out quickly turns into a tale of mischief, magic, history and pure-hearted bear chaos.

Beautifully written and filled with warmth, the story blends Mayo’s landscapes, Irish folklore and real history into a funny, heart-stealing children’s book. Kids will love the adventure; adults will enjoy the nods to local landmarks, heritage and gentle humour.

Perfect for bedtime, classroom reading or gifting to any child who loves teddy bears, Irish stories or the magic of Mayo.
