This lively and entertaining collection of folk tales from the
County Derry is rich in stories both tall and true, ancient and
recent, dark and funny, fantastical and powerful. Here you will
find stories of mythical beasts such as the Lig-na-Paiste, banished
by St Murrough to Lough Foyle; the dark tales of Abhartach, the
Irish Vampire, and the reason a skeleton features of Derry’s coat
of arms; the cautionary tale of the man who raised the Devil and
who never spoke another word for the rest of his life; and, of
course, the legends of the great St Columba, founder of the City of
Derry, whose prayer reputedly still protects its inhabitants from
ever being struck by lightening. These well-loved and magical
stories, retold by professional storyteller Madeline McCully and
richly illustrated with enchanting line drawings, are sure to be
enjoyed and shared time and again.
