People came from far ... more »and wide to her home in Kerry to hear her stories, and to learn from her about the craft of storytelling. She has been recorded by many folklore scholars, and appeared regularly on radio and television. In this wonderful collection, we get a taste of Bab's repertoire, with 19 stories from fables to rhymes and amusing anecdotes. This collection will be of interest to those with an interest in storytelling and folklore, and also to those with an interest in the Gaelic traditions, in particular those of the Munster province.
