Description

A wild frontier of mighty headlands, sheer crags rising from the sea and miles of lonely golden sands – Ireland’s coastline is foreboding, exhilarating and achingly beautiful.

Men and women have lived and loved and died in this harsh but bountiful environment. Through it all they have told tales to entertain themselves, to pass on wisdom and to banish despair. It is little wonder that our richest folklore is woven into this island’s rugged and romantic coastline.

Brought together and reimagined by modern-day seanchaì Colin Urwin, this collection includes some of the most enchanting, strange and poignant folk tales to be found on this ancient isle.
