Legends of Saints and Sinners

Legends of Saints and Sinners is a captivating collection that delves into the rich tapestry of Irish Christian folklore. This volume presents a unique assortment of folk stories and poems infused with Christian themes, reflecting the profound impact of Christianity on Irelands cultural heritage. Each tale has been carefully curated, with most sourced directly from the mouths of native speakers, while a few originate from treasured Irish manuscripts. This collection offers stories that have never before been translated into English, with the exception of a few previously included in my work Religious Songs of Connacht. Join me on a journey through the enchanting world of Irish folklore, where the sacred mingles with the everyday.
