County Carlow has a rich heritage of myths and legends which is uniquely captured in this collection of traditional tales from across the county. Here you will find the lore of the Balckstairs Mountains, tales of how the rivers got their names, and the ancient history of Dinn Righ, the seat of the kings, along with stories of Beauchamp Bagenal, handsomest man in Ireland, St Lazerian and the dates of Easter, and why people living on the mountains walk with a limp. In a vivid journey through Calow’s varied landscape, local storytellers Aideen MacBride and Jack Sheehan take the reader to places where legend and landscape are inseparably linked.
