About this title

Synopsis

In this collection, actor and seanchai (traditional storyteller) Eamon Kelly's finest stories are collected for the first time: stories of the real Kerry and the magical past of the Goban Saor, the heartbreak of emigration, the stations, the priests, the courting and dancing, the war between the sexes. Kelly mines a rich seam of humour and sadness out of resilience of a people rich in hospitality and generosity, imagination, culture and tradition.
