Old Ways to New Days : The Folklore, Traditions and Everyday Objects that Shaped Ireland

Lehane, Shane2025
Books, Manuscripts
Folklorist Shane Lehane brings the soul of Ireland's past to life in a beautifully woven tapestry of tradition, transformation and memory. 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. At 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. A book to treasure and a poignant reminder of who we were, and how we came to be.
