Where the Waters Flow by Eithne Massey
‘In the stories which follow I hope that the rivers will speak to you.’
Flowing from source to sea, our rivers are the life-blood of Ireland. They have shaped the landscape, history, folkore and mythology of the island. And have inspired legends, tales, songs and poetry.
Beginning with the Liffey in the east and travelling clockwise around the country to end with the Boyne, Where the Waters Flow tells the histories, tales and legends of fifteen of Ireland’s best-known rivers.
Richly illustrated with historic engravings, wildlife drawings and photographs, old and new.
Eithne Massey has had a lifelong attachment to the legends and traditions of her native Ireland. Her best-selling books of Irish myths and legends for children include what is fast becoming a classic picture book, Best-Loved Irish Legends, and of a number of novels for young readers, among them the award-winning Blood Brother, Swan Sister, with its backdrop of the Battle of Clontarf, and the skilful story of the man behind the rebel leader in Michael Collins: Hero and Rebel. Her other books include Legendary Ireland: Myths and Legends of Ireland and The Turning of the Year.
