Truths Myths and Deceits from Donegal by Edward Ward
This book is an insight into the storytelling that was prevalent in the homes of Donegal before the advent of television. The seancha s (storytellers) were the method of entertainment, and the stories would be repeated word for word, to the delight and trepidation of the listener. I have endeavored to record some of the myths and legends that are part of a receding way of life, in rural areas of Donegal where the pre-Christian beliefs were, and are, hidden beneath a veil of Christianity. Beneath the surface of conformity there lies our belief of the past masked by rejection and denial.
