In the captivating realm of Ireland's people history, John Creedon presents a delightful compilation of tales from the Schools Collection.

Presented here for the first time, this remarkable "best of selection" encompasses chapters on ghost stories, agriculture, forgotten trades, education, and pastimes. The outcome is an awe-inspiring chronicle of folk history, revealing profound insights into our past selves and the way we lived centuries ago.
