Publisher Description: From the saints of the Dark Ages to modern-day sinners, Galway Bay is the source of some of Ireland's most magical tales. In this book local storyteller Rab Fulton takes the reader through Galway's past, recalling the myths and legend's that shaped the area's history--from the quarrelsome giants who in their rage created the Arran Isles to the corpse that flew through the air at the very first Galway Arts Festival. Also featuring tales of magic swans, miraculous nuns, a city beneath the waves, and a cannibal king, this is a great companion for any visit to the county, for fascinating days out and finding exciting treasure on your doorstep. |
