In Pangur Bán: The White Cat, the title character accidentally causes a young monk named Niall to kill another monk, the son of King Kernac. These stories, which draw heavily on Celtic folklore, take place at the time when Christianity is just beginning to erode the traditional, native religions of Ireland and Britain. Some of her most popular children's works relate the adventures of Pangur Bán, a talking cat. British author Fay Sampson has written many works of fantasy, including books for children and for adults.
