(1) 4-6 J.J. Liddy (The New Policeman), now grown up, is the guardian of a changeling named Jenny. Jenny, J.J.'s son, and an aged neighbor work to protect the world from a púka (mythical goat). Thompson's rich portrayal of family benefits from folkloric play on trickster motifs and otherworld creatures. Resonantly Irish, Thompson's storytelling still easily leaps geographical and cultural boundaries. Glos.
