In Ireland Long Ago

In his inimitable style, gifted folklorist Kevin Danaher invites the reader to call on people of a former generation in their homes, to sit around the hearth, to listen to their tales and gossip and sample their food and drink, to marvel at their implements, to meet a water diviner, to join a faction fight, hurry to a wedding and bow down in remembrance of the dead. For over thirty years, this book has charmed, informed and surprised successive generations of readers, in Ireland and abroad.
