Beautifully written, this collection of essays and conversations features local tradition-bearers who were renowned for their music, songs, dance and storytelling. Folk art and traditions run through the book, which has chapters on the music of the Russell Brothers and the Killougherys; reminiscences of the last Doolin native Irish speaker, Paddy Pharaic Mhichil Shannon; the storytelling tradition, with storytellers Stiofáin Uí Ealaoire, Seán Ó'Carún and others. Also featured are Botious MacClancy and Francis McNamara, local gentry who made Doolin famous in the 16th century and the 20th century. Doolin is illustrated with photographs, music, songs, maps and journal excerpts.
