Those magic words 'Once upon a time' have been spoken around the flickering flame of the turf fire by storytellers for thousands of years. In this book, author Tony Locke has gathered together the rich tapestry of stories that make up the folklore, myth and legend of County Mayo. This book will take you on a journey through the rugged landscape of the west coast of Ireland, to its holy mountain, Croagh Patrick, and across the foaming waters of Clew Bay. Here you will read of Gráinne Ní Mháille, the Pirate Queen, the spectre known as the Fír Gorta who roamed the famine villages of west Mayo, the monsters that inhabit the deep waters of Lough Mask and the Matchstick Man of Straide. You will also read of the Love Flower and two young lovers, the land of eternal youth that is Tír na nÓg and the night of the Big Wind. So why not pull up a chair and sit awhile? You know you're never too old for a story.

Mayo has a rich heritage of myths and legends which is uniquely captured in this collection of traditional tales from the county. Discover where Caoranach, one of the most powerful demons in Hell, is said to lurk, and where Grace O’Malley, the famous warrior woman, once roamed along with the tales of the hero highwayman MacNamara and his trusty steed Venus, the fastest horse who ever lived. In a vivid journey through Mayo’s varied landscape, from the barren slopes of the holy mountain Croagh Patrick, to the boglands of the Ceide fields and on to the swollen, dangerous seas and rugged coastline that stretches its Western border, professional storyteller Niall de Burca takes the reader to places where legend and landscape are inseparably linked.

Traditional hedgerows are rapidly vanishing from our countryside. With their disappearance, we lose not only their flora and fauna but also the tales and folklore that have always surrounded them. This book records these stories before they disappear from memory. With chapters dedicated to specific plants or animals, we learn about the folklore of the hedgehog, the badger, woodmouse, thrush, wren, bumblebee, hawthorn, foxglove and hazel and many more. These are tales of wisdom and magic that help us to gain a greater understanding of the natural world we live in and which encourage us to live in closer harmony with that world.
