Micí Sheáin Néill Ó Baoill was a great storyteller who lived in Rann na Feirste in North West Donegal in the last century. Folklore scholars and collectors would gather from all over to hear Micí recite stories that were passed down to him over the generations. This book is a collection of the stories told by Micí Sheáin Néill which contained magical elements. There are eighteen stories in total, imaginative tales in which people fly through the sky, encounter giants and unearthly beasts and bring heroes back from the dead. The stories are presented in this book just as Micí recited them so that other generations of readers and listeners can enjoy the richness of language and imagination that runs through them.

...they were full of imagination and of story making; on topics that aroused laughter and wonder, stories that gave insight into a new perspective, into another tradition, into another way of thinking ... it's great that this lovely and powerful book is now available to a new generation of readers...
