Do you know what lurks in the waters of Cullaun Lake? Or why a Clare woman should never, ever, be disturbed while she is knitting? These questions and more will be answered in this unique collection of traditional tales from across the county, which explores Clare's rich heritage of myths and legends. We will hear the tales of well-known figures, including Cúchulainn, Brian Boru and Clare wise-woman Biddy Early, as well as lesser-known characters such as Grian, Daughter of the Sun, and the Hag of Bealaha. Also featured are fantastic stories of mythical creatures and underwater worlds, including the Newhall mermaid, the fairies of Glandree, and the sunken city of Kilstiofeen. Clare's varied and vivid landscape, from its ancient oak woodlands and soft drumlin country in the east, to its rugged and windswept Atlantic coastline in the west, is reflected in this tantalising selection of tales collected and retold by local storyteller Ruth Marshall.

County Limerick is a place of kings and commoners. It is where Donn Fírinne, king of the Munster fairies, is said to have once roamed and where Sean na Scuab, a poor broom seller from the wrong side of the river, was chosen to be mayor of the city. It is a land filled with stories, poetry, music and drama. In these pages you can read about Sionainn, who was carried away by the flowing waters of the River Shannon; the bright and beautiful goddess Áine, the fairy queen, who knits the earth's green mantle below Lough Gur; Finn MacCool and his band of warri ors, the Fianna; the wise woman Joan Grogan and her ingenious cures; foolish Tadhg who outwitted a gang of thieves; and the poet-magician, Gearóid Iarla, on his horse with silver shoes. In this unique collection, storyteller Ruth Marshall recounts tales of mystery, music and magic from across the rich tapestry of the folklore of County Limerick.

Stories have evolved around historical characters, with Horatio Nelson, Oliver Cromwell, Anne Boleyn, Tom Paine and King Edmund becoming larger than life in folk-memory. This book is a celebration of the deep connection between a place and its people.

"The Other Crowd," "The Good People," "The Wee Folk," and "Them" are a few of the names given to the fairies by the people of Ireland. Honored for their gifts and feared for their wrath, the fairies remind us to respect the world we live in and the forces we cannot see. In these tales of fairy forts, fairy trees, ancient histories, and modern true-life encounters with The Other Crowd, Eddie Lenihan opens our eyes to this invisible world with the passion and bluntness of a seanchai, a true Irish storyteller.

Seventy-five years after they were first collected by the Irish Folklore Commission, three tales told by Welsh Óg (Michael Welsh/Micheál Breathnach), from south-west Clare, in June 1943, are now appearing in print. These long, complex stories feature an oral version of a late medieval romantic tale and somewhat unusual renditions of well-known international folktales, all told in the English language. Although these tales were intended for a listening audience, what emerges even from reading them is Welsh Óg's distinct and individual narrative style. His voice still resonates from the printed page even after the silence of three-quarters of a century. His obvious linguistic virtuosity as he translated from Irish to English, and his keen enjoyment of the language of the stories evident in his often unusual turn of phrase, all add to the flavour of the tales, and express also his individuality as a person and as a storyteller. Welsh Óg was a master of dialogue, with a sophisticated appreciation of old-world language and manners. He had the skilled storyteller's ability to strikingly depict the good or evil characteristics of his actors, and the imaginative capacity to transport the listener, even for a while, to an enchanted, marvellous, and an often colourful world, where, eventually, good overcame evil, and everyone could live happily ever after.
