Meeting the Other Crowd
"The Other Crowd," "The Good People," "The Wee Folk," and "Them" are a few of the names given to the fairies by the people of Ireland. Honored for their gifts and feared for their wrath, the fairies remind us to respect the world we live in and the forces we cannot see. In these tales of fairy forts, fairy trees, ancient histories, and modern true-life encounters with The Other Crowd, Eddie Lenihan opens our eyes to this invisible world with the passion and bluntness of a seanchai, a true Irish storyteller.

The Devil is an Irishman
A collection of stories recounting Irish encounters with the Devil. 'Don't mind the light, Martin. There'll be plenty o' that where you're going - an' heat to go with it.' If the Devil is no Irishman, he surely deserves to be, because from time immemorial he has frequented the land of Ireland, held constant and intimate commerce with the people of Ireland and shown every sign of attachment to both the country and its population. If this does not entitle him to at least honorary Irish citizenship there is little in the way of justice in this world - or the next. An odd fact, but one not entirely to be wondered at, is that Devil stories far outnumber tales about his opposite number - God - in Irish tradition. Can it be that we Irish are in some fallen way more comfortable with the infernal than with the celestial?
Strange Irish Tales for Children
A collection of four exciting stories about the adventures of the Fianna.
In the Tracks of the West Clare Railway
Trains are unlikely to ever again run between Ennis and Kilkee. For what was a railway is now a disjointed succession of pieces linking not just places but in a way two worlds: one unhurried and traditional, the other brash, frenzied and modern. This work paints a picture of a time when the railway breathed life into West Clare.
Fionn Mac Cumhail's Tales from Ireland
