Lady Gregory gathered these sayings from the farmers and labourers around Kiltartan in County Galway, recording Ireland’s past in their own words: the first invaders and the peaceful Firbolgs, the Danes, Cromwell and Daniel O’Connell’s wit. The result is history as memory and legend shaped it rather than as scholars wrote it.
