Inhaltsangabe

A spark of hearth stories, a window onto an island's folklore, and a doorway to a vanished rural world. Beside The Fire invites you to sit with ancestral voices and feel the cadence of Gaelic Ireland in every tale. This is more than a folklore collection; it is a traditional tales anthology that threads myth and legend through the daily life of a bygone Gaeltacht-inspired world. Nutt gathers classical Irish legends and strands of comparative folk tales into a coherent tapestry that appeals to both casual readers and serious students. For researchers, the collection offers accessible entry points into 19th century Ireland, while for beginner friendly readers it remains inviting and intelligible. The heart of the book lies in its portrayal of rural village life, where hearths, neighbours, and seasonal rhythms shape enduring tales of wonder and warning. Its literary and historical significance endures: a carefully curated snapshot of gaelic ireland culture, an enduring record of heritage, and a touchstone for anyone exploring Irish folklore. Beside The Fire is not merely to be read; it is to be revisited as a cultural treasure, a gateway to a shared past, and a source of inspiration for modern storytelling. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
