This book draws on these decades of fieldwork and captures the voices, stories, and memories of neighbours, friends, and the many people I’ve met along the way. The content is wonderfully varied - touching on local place names, early maps, folklore about birds and frogs, traditions around Easter and fraughan picking, local recipes and foods, 18th-century highwayman, 1798 folklore and memory, World War II stories, faction fighting, 19th-century evictions, local industries, tales of giant serpents, and stories about the fairies and Tim Hayes in Monamolin!
