A classic satire by one of the 20th century's most able writers, in English and Irish,
Myles na gCopaleen/Flann O'Brien/Brian O'Nolan. This extremely funny book,

Ón tSeanam Anall – Scéalta Mhici Bháin Uí Bheirn.
Eag.: Mícheál Mac Giolla Eacbuic.
€15.00
Ceoltóir, fidléir, file agus seanchaí ab ea Micí Bán Ó Beirn (1899-1980) a rugadh i
gCill Charthaigh i gCo. Dhún na nGall. De bharr gurbh ailbíneach é ní fhéadfadh
sé ach na cinnteidil a léamh sa pháipéar agus bheadh ar dhuine éigin an chuid eile a
léamh dó. Bhí intleacht thar an ghnáth aige agus choinnigh sé a chuid eolais uilig
ina chloigeann. Bhí cliú agus cáil air féin agus ar a dheartháir Proinsias mar
fhidléirí ar fud na hÉireann. Ba í Bríd Ní Bheirn, máistreás scoile áitiúil, a scríobh
na scéalta seo ó bhéal Mhicí Bháin Uí Bheirn i 1930, agus ba í a deirfiúr Mairéad a
thug an cnuasach do Mhícheál Mac Giolla Easbuic lena chur i dtoll a chéile.Cúig
scéal is fiche atá sa bhailiúchán seo, chomh maith le tréanna, ‗Na Seacht n-Óg' agus
píosa filíochta a chum Micí Bán Ó Beirn dar teideal ‗Turas ar Chill Charthaigh'.
Micí Bán Ó Beirn was a fiddler, poet and seanchaí from the Cill Charthaigh area
of Donegal. Bríd Ní Bheirn, a local school mistress, realising that the language
and the oral culture were in decline, took down these stories from Micí Bán in
1930. The stories lay idle for some time afterwards until her sister, Maireád, in
turn passed them to Mícheál Mac Giolla Easbuic that he might edit and compile
this publication. There are twenty five stories in total in the book, as well as some
triads, the proverbs ‗Na Seacht nÓg' and a piece of poetry by Micí Bán entitled
‗Turas ar Chill Charthaigh'.

Irish Ghost Stories. Padraic O‘Farrell
€7.99
Unexplained psychic phenomena fascinate people from all walks of life. However,
many are afraid, ashamed and embarrassed to come forward for fear of not being
taken seriously. Of course, we can‘t prove that ghosts exist or don‘t exist. We are in
a different realm of consciousness when we talk about ghosts. But however strange
or unusual the feelings that people experience, the experiences themselves are none
the less real.
There are many well-known Irish ghost stories and Padraic O‘Farrell tells some of
them in this book. He has, however, leaned heavily on the side of lesser-known
tales; most of them previously unpublished.
