Tales of Louth

By Deagln Mac Giolla Cearra

Book Overview

Folktales from County Louth, illustrated by Deagl?n Mac Giolla Cearra.
In the late 1930s the Irish Folklore Commission initiated a project to collect the folklore of the nation. Schoolchildren were recruited to assist in the task of recording local stories, legends and beliefs. The result was the 'Baili?chan na Scol', or the 'Schools' Collection', compiled from over two million handwritten pages.
The stories illustrated herein are adaptations of only a few of these stories; some will be familiar, others not so much. But they all remind us of the rich heritage of Irish storytelling.
