| Publisher Description: Leitrim has a rich heritage of myths and legends which is uniquely captured in this collection of traditional tales from the county. Discover the burial place of the mythical hunter-warrior Fionn Mac Cumhaill, the sites where holy saints once trod, and the places where ordinary people once encountered devils, ghosts, fairies, and changelings. In a vivid journey through Leitrim's varied landscape, from its rugged mountains to its bogs and loughs and along the mighty Shannon river (said to be named after the granddaughter of Manann n mac Lir, the god of the sea), local storyteller Susie Mino takes the reader to places where legend and landscape are inseparably linked. |
