Irish Folk Customs and Belief is a fascinating introduction to Irish folk customs and beliefs. Discover the defining folklore as the oral traditions of the Irish people, including their popular beliefs, customs, tales, songs, proverbs and more. These traditions are passed down over long periods of time within often isolated communities.

A great folklorist and chronologist, Ó Súilleabháin threads the dichotomy between the ancient roots of folklore practice and the constantly evolving nature of tradition.
