Do you know what lurks in the waters of Cullaun Lake? Or why a
Clare woman should never, ever, be disturbed while she is knitting?
These questions and more will be answered in this unique collection
of traditional tales from across the county, which explores Clare's
rich heritage of myths and legends. We will hear the tales of
well-known figures, including Cuchulainn, Brian Boru and Clare
wise-woman Biddy Early, as well as lesser-known characters such as
Grian, Daughter of the Sun, and the Hag of Bealaha. Also featured
are fantastic stories of mythical creatures and underwater worlds,
including the Newhall mermaid, the fairies of Glandree, and the
sunken city of Kilstiofeen. Clare's varied and vivid landscape,
from its ancient oak woodlands and soft drumlin country in the
east, to its rugged and windswept Atlantic coastline in the west,
is reflected in this tantalising selection of tales collected and
retold by local storyteller Ruth Marshall.
