"I find him to be a kindred spirit, a sympathetic but shrewd
enquirer, a companionable stroller, and a lover of anecdotes
gathered by the wayside." Â So Tim Robinson described
folklorist, revolutionary, and district justice Seán Mac
Giollarnáth, whose 1941 book Annála Beaga ó Iorras
Aithneach revealed his sheer delight in the rich language and
stories of the people he encountered in Conamara, the
Irish-speaking region in the south of Connemara. From tales of
smugglers, saints, and scholars to memories of food, work, and
family, the stories gathered here provide invaluable insights into
the lives and culture of the community. This faithful and lovingly
crafted translation, complete with annotations, a biography, and
thoughtful chapters that explore the importance of the language and
region, is the final work of both Robinson and his collaborator,
the renowned writer and Irish language expert Liam Mac Con Iomaire.
Translated into English for the first time, Conamara
Chronicles: Tales from Iorras Aithneach preserves the art of
storytellers in the West of Ireland and honors the inspiration they
kindle even still.Â
