Conan & The Mystical, Magical Light Of Loughcrew

Conan & The Mystical, Magical Light Of Loughcrew by Tina Halpin and illustrated by Lisa Brady is the first ever children's book based on Loughcrew Cairns, a story inspired by the 5,000-year-old light spectacle at Loughcrew. While there are many insightful books and technical descriptions of the megalithic monuments at Loughcrew, until now there has been nothing to fire the imagination of children.

"A small beam of light the size of an arrow head appeared at the entrance and began moving along towards where they were standing. Conan rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Whoa! Where is this light coming from he wondered. The light continued to move nearer and nearer to everyone. Strange symbols began to appear on the walls illuminated by the beautiful golden light."
