The songs here range from the ancient tradition of Irish chant lullabies handed down through many generations to more recent compositions by irish musicians and poets. The Otherworld peopled by fairies and banshees who protect and threaten us, has been the main source of inspiration in the traditional Irish lullabies included in this collection.

The beautiful songs in this collection continue in that tradition and are sung equally to comfort both adults and children.
