Grab a CopyThis book is a collection of local stories from County Louth, originally gathered by school children during the late 1930s. These tales were recorded as part of a national project to save Irish folklore by having kids interview their elders about the legends and history of their own townlands. The stories inside come from places like Drogheda, Dundalk, and Carlingford. They cover a bit of everything - from local ghost stories and old legends to simple accounts of what life was like in the Irish countryside generations ago. Each tale is paired with illustrations by Deaglán Mac Giolla Cearra that help bring these old records to life. It is a straightforward look at the heritage of the "Wee County" and the tradition of storytelling that was nearly lost to time.
