County Limerick is a place of kings and commoners. It is where Donn Fírinne, king of the Munster fairies, is said to have once roamed and where Sean na Scuab, a poor broom seller from the wrong side of the river, was chosen to be mayor of the city. It is a land filled with stories, poetry, music and drama. In these pages you can read about Sionainn, who was carried away by the flowing waters of the River Shannon; the bright and beautiful goddess Áine, the fairy queen, who knits the earth’s green mantle below Lough Gur; Finn MacCool and his band of warri ors, the Fianna; the wise woman Joan Grogan and her ingenious cures; foolish Tadhg who outwitted a gang of thieves; and the poet-magician, Gearóid Iarla, on his horse with silver shoes. In this unique collection, storyteller Ruth Marshall recounts tales of mystery, music and magic from across the rich tapestry of the folklore of County Limerick.

A vibrant collection of local tales hand down through generations of storytellers Limerick - a city of Vikings, Normans, kings, and common people; a city that gave its name to a short funny poem is a city full of stories. The mighty River Shannon that runs through Limerick city is a river born long ago and far away, when Sinann, a young woman seeking wisdom, stole hazelnuts from a pool, and got herself carried away by the overflowing waters. Aine, the bright and beautiful goddess of sovereignty, queen of the fairies, resides beneath the lake at Lough Gur in the form of an old hag, knitting a green mantle. While Gearoid Iarla, the young Earl of Desmond, and a reputed poet-magician, rises from Lough Gur on his silver-shod white horse every seven years.
