Description

In this people’s history of Ireland, John Creedon introduces a fascinating collection of stories from the Schools’ Collection.

This treasure trove of old stories, ways and wisdom, which could have been lost for ever, was collected by schoolchildren as part of a nationwide project set up in the 1930s to preserve Irish folklore. Published here for the first time, this ‘best of’ selection includes chapters on ghost stories, agriculture, forgotten trades, schooling and pastimes.

The result is an incredible arc of folk history that tells us about ourselves and how we lived long ago.
