Excerpt from One Tailteann Week: A Chronicle of the Tames in Ancient Days
Travelling men from west Ire land, small, and dark, and crafty, were there; and talkative trick throwers, with balls and wheels, from south Ireland were there; and silent men from north Ireland, who would tell strange stories for a fee, were there.

The author paints a vivid picture of an ancient world, alive with color, music, and the fierce passions of those who have travelled far and wide to prove themselves the best. However, the book's themes extend far beyond the sporting arena and delve into the very heart of the human condition, asking questions about honor, love, and sacrifice. At once a historical narrative and a timeless epic, this book is a testament to the power of the human spirit to strive for greatness, even when the odds are stacked against them.
