Featured here are stories of well-known figures from Irish folklore, including Conal Cearnach, with his association to Dunseverick Castle, and Deirdre of the Sorrows, whose mournful plight is linked to the rock at Ballycastle, known as Carraig Usnach. Here you will also find tales of lesser-known Antrim characters such as the heroic outlaw Naoise O'Haughan and local lad Cosh-a-Day, along with fantastical accounts of mythical creatures, including the mermaid of Portmuck, the banshee of Shane's Castle, and the ghostly goings-on in Belfast.These stories bring to life the county's varied landscape, from its lofty mountains to its fertile lowlands and dramatic coastline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBilly Teare\u003c\/b\u003e is one of Ireland's premier storytellers with an international reputation who has appeared on radio, television and the big screen, His previously published works include the award-winning \u003ci\u003eMore Ready to Tell Tales\u003c\/i\u003e (2000). \u003cb\u003eKathleen O'Sullivan\u003c\/b\u003e is a traditional storyteller and singer who has collaborated with Billy Teare for many years, adapting traditional tales along with writing new ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 02, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42165726707847,"sku":"9781845887865","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/7c2733d9735f464b3d308c37c38289d8.webp?v=1733315668","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/antrim-folk-tales-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
