Bøger af Brendan Nolan

For the first time, Brendan Nolan explores the power of Dublin's urban legends - murky stories whispered in classrooms and backstreets, and ripping yarns passed on across the bar. Urban legends may sometimes just be the best of rumours, but the real question is about the truth that lies behind them?

Wexford has a rich heritage of myths and legends which is uniquely captured in this collection of traditional tales from across the county.

Have you heard the story of 'Bang Bang' Dudley, who roamed the streets of Dublin shooting anyone who caught his eye? These are the stories of real Dublin, the stories that are passed from generation to generation and which give this city its unique character.

Wicklow is full of stories, from the farmer returned from market to find he was dead and buried, to the mysterious bird who turned into a beautiful wife long missing from the glens. In this rich collection of tales from the county, you may find the cure for baldness, or learn if it is wise to leave a sleeping army lie in Rathdrum.
