Ireland is much more than leprechauns, four-leaf clovers, fairies, blarney, and practical jokes. Journey with writer Scáth Beorh as he tells of the hidden Emerald Isle few see, or even know exist. A traveler finds himself in remote Kerry, only to there reveal his true intention. A rover in Ireland experiences haunted Glen of the Downs just south of Dublin--and lives to tell about it. Shipwrecked siblings only do what they have been taught--by their misguided elders. A delightfully weird girl makes an impression on a man that he never forgets. A castle groom tells the story of a haunting he has seen first hand. A house in Cavan is inhabited by friendly ghosts. A dead king is painfully reminded of a past indiscretion. These and thirty-three more tales and sketches paint a haunted picture of Ireland, light and dark.
