Rambling With Tom: A collection of Irish memories, stories, Folklore and more

By Thomas Gilrane

In 1947, at the age of 18, Thomas Gilrane emigrated from County Leitrim, Ireland to America. By all standards, he has been successful. Tom found work, served in the US Army, married and earned his American citizenship. His heart though was never far from his childhood memories. His upbringing in farming, family, hard work and religion provided him with all he needed to succeed. With his wife Lorraine, he made a life in America, earning his way and raising four children. His second book, "Rambling with Tom", is a collection of short stories, classic Irish poetry and Irish folklore along with interesting and amusing snippets from days gone by. He recalls some of the simple joys, challenges and difficulties that were typical of living a traditional farm life in rural Ireland. Rambling is the word used to describe the evening visits and storytelling with neighbors in the Irish countryside.
