The definitive reference book on Ireland's cultural and religious
heritage. Ireland has one of the finest cultural heritages and a
standard reference book combining the related subjects of folklore,
myth, legend and romance is long overdue. There are 350 substantial
entries, in alphabetical order from Abán, a 6th-century saint, to
Weather, all with full references to sources, a synopsis of
relevant stories, and discussion of their origin, nature and
development. These are complimented by a genre-list of material
under various headings, such as Mythical Lore, Fianna Cycle, Ulster
Cycle, King Cycles, Peoples and Traditions, Religious Lore, and
Folk Custom and Belief. There is also a wealth of genealogical
detail, indicating how historical and social circumstances have
influenced the growth and spread of Irish lore. DAITHI O HOGAIN,
Associate Professor of Irish Folklore at University College Dublin,
was an international authority on folklore and traditional
literature.
