Samenvatting:

The mountains and spectacular coastline of County Waterford are rich in traditional stories. Even today, in the modern world of internet and supermarkets, old legends dating as far back as the times of the ancient Gaelic tribes and the carvers of the ogham stones are still told at night around the fireside. They are stories ranging from the sagas of some of Ireland's most famous legendary heroes to mysterious tales of demons, dragons and giants. In a vivid journey through Waterford's landscape, from the towns and villages to the remotest places, by mountains, cliffs and valleys, local storyteller Anne Farrell takes the reader along old and new roads to places where legend and landscape are inseparably linked.
