FROM THE BACK COVER:\nThese are the tales of the packmen, smugglers and wandering storytellers (known as raparees) from the great tradition of storytelling in the West of Ireland. Mainly handed down by word of mouth, they tell of poor communities living in a bleak and beautiful countryside against a background of secret societies, man-hunts, smuggling, murders, wakes, rebellion and starvation. Some go back hundreds of years, evoking the legendary past of Connemara, others are Berry's own tales of the Ireland of his youth when the shadow of the Famine hovered over the West.\nJames Berry, a native of Co. Mayo, came from a peasant family and spent his whole life in the West, dying at the age of 72 in 1914. During the last years of his life he contributed these tales to a local newspaper in whose pages they lay forgotten until Gertrude Horgan discovered them in the 1960s and collected them in their present form.\n'When I left down the book I had a deeper understanding of rural Ireland in the nineteenth century than I ever had before, because in Berry's tales it comes to meet the reader, open-eyed and unembarrassed.'--The Irish Press\n'A marvellous book, readable, amusing and educative.'--Hibernia\n'A notable addition to Celtic lore.' --Choice
