Meeting the Other Crowd by Eddie Lenihan

The Other Crowd', 'The Good People', 'The Wee Folk' and 'Them' are a few of the names given to the fairies by people in Ireland. Honoured for their gifts and feared for their wrath, the fairies remind us to respect both the world we live in and forces we cannot see. In Meeting the Other Crowd, Eddie Lenihan presents a book about a hidden Ireland, a land of mysterious taboos, dangers, other worldly abductions, enchantments and much more. It is a world which most Irish people acknowledge exists, but which few of them, except the very oldest or professional folklorists, know much more about. Eddie Lenihan opens our eyes to this invisible world with the passion and bluntness of a great storyteller. In doing so he provides one of the finest collections of Irish folklore in modern times.

Storyteller, teacher, folklorist and author of numerous books and recordings, Eddie Lenihan has been collecting traditional stories and lore from an older generation for nearly thirty years. He lives in Co. Clare. A director, writer and editor, Carolyn Eve Green produced an eight-part award-winning audio series for children, Secrets of the World, which includes the work of Eddie Lenihan and others. She lives in Boulder, Colorado, USA.
