Bantry Bay Series

This is a sequential series and is best read in order.

Hilda van Stockum wrote the three "Bantry Bay" books based on an actual family she had met, set in the countryside she knew and loved. For many years Francie on the Run was her personal favorite (a slot later shared with The Borrowed House).

From the Bethlehem Books biography of the author

With genuine Irish flavor and fun, from the homey first chapter which introduces the O'Sullivans, through all the chapters that endear these good folk to us, the author takes us on an enchanting visit to Ireland among such real people that we shall want to add them to our list of best book friends. This little family is rich in the things that are really worth while.
