For a period of over ten years, MacNeil told his tales to John Shaw, a specialist in Celtic folklore and fluent Gaelic speaker, who recorded, transcribed, edited and translated them into English. This book presents a large and wide-ranging selection of these translations: folktales, anecdotes, proverbs, expressions, rhymes, superstitions and games. All variations of the genre are represented, including a fragment from the Ulster Cycle, some items from the Fenian cycle, hero and wonder tales, fairy and witch lore, romantic tales, tales of cleverness, ‘numbskull’ stories, animal tales and tall tales.
