Séamas Ó Catháin: Irish Life and Lore, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Irish Life and Lore is not only an excellent collection of folktales and legends but it is also packed with the lore and traditions of places and people from the four corners of Ireland.

This book contains much new material which was never published before and which is drawn from the manuscript archive of the former Irish Folklore Commission, now the Department of Irish Folklore at University College, Dublin and also from the living Irish folk tradition of today.

Irish Life and Lore includes authentic folk material culled from nineteenth-century writers such as Kennedy and Crofton Croker and also from the author's own extensive field collections made in various parts of the country.
