This is an extraordinary book. --Progress in Human Geography

. . . fresh and fascinating. --Come-All-Ye

. . . an extraordinarily rich and rewarding book. . . . it is about the effort of one man to find for himself and us the life's breath of the people of Ballymenone. . . . It is certainly a remarkable tour de force. --Emmet Larkin, New York Times Book Review

The life and art, the folklore, history, and common work of a rural community in Northern Ireland--through the eyes and pen of gifted folklorist Henry Glassie. It is a classic in the fullest sense, reaching beyond folklore to all of humanity.
