From the magic of birth to the customs of death and mourning; from matchmakers and milking stools to butter charms and fairy lore, Lehane traces the arc of a society rooted in the land, as it evolved with the arrival of bicycles, electricity, cinema and the wireless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt once scholarly and deeply personal, this is a celebration of how the old ways still echo in Irish memory and lore, even as the new days roll on. Wonderfully illustrated with dip-pen drawings, this is a book to treasure and a poignant reminder of who we were, and how we came to be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Easonb2b.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64945876861277,"sku":"9781399736473","price":22.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/old-ways-to-new-days-the-folklore-tra","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
