Old Ways To New Days: How Clare’s Legends & Customs Continue To Influence Ireland Today

Ireland’s past is alive in its stories, customs, and the rhythms of everyday life. In a new book 'Old Ways to New Days', folklorist and lecturer Shane Lehane explores how ancient traditions continue to shape who we are today. From tales of Biddy Early, the famed wise woman of Clare, to fascinating finds like Ireland’s earliest pen discovered in the Burren, Shane brings the richness of our folklore to life.
