Another enjoyable offering from lecturer Bob Curran. A wide ranging collection of Irish based stories as told by natives of relevant counties. A good introduction to the subject for those interested in folklore.

Oh a whim I thought I'd read about Irish folklore (I loved Irish literature somuch). It is absolutely fascinating! I can't get enough. Unfortunately, we have a tiny library and I can't find anything about Irish folklore so I have to wait until I have extra money to spend on all the books I want :(

Absolutely delightful. A trip through a dream of old Ireland, complete with the Gentry and the Devil his own self. Read for a short vacation into another time and place.
