Kerry Folk Tales by Gary Branigan

NAMED after the peoples of Ciarraige who inhabited the ancient territory, Kerry possesses a rich tapestry of history, legend and folklore unparalleled by many others. In this book, authors Gary Branigan and Luke Eastwood narrate a variety of myths and fables that will take you on a journey through Kerry's past. Many of the stories have been handed down by local people from generation to generation, and reveal old customs and beliefs filled with superstition, while others are more modern, showing the continuance of the Irish traditions of the seanacha and of Irish storytelling.
LUKE EASTWOOD is an author, artist and musician who spends his spare time writing book and articles and editing Pagan Ireland magazine. His photography has been used for book covers and album covers, as well as being sold in small galleries. He organised the long-running Nua Art Exhibition and Éigse Spiorad Cheilteach, and gives talks about various aspects of Ireland's history and folkore at festivals and events across Ireland. He lives in County Kerry.
