Strange Ireland

In Ireland, truth, folklore, mythology, and legend are indistinguishably interwoven into a Celtic knot of strangeness.From fact to fiction and the peculiar to the bizarre, unravel some of Ireland's most curious lore: the Blarney Stone kissing ceremony, the giant behind the Giant's Causeway, the escapades of Saint Patrick, and the myths of the 1690 battle of the River Boyne among many others.Among the twenty-six chapters each detailing a unique Irish oddity, discover the history of Emerald Isle in a new light. Scottish born and bred, I am strange by name and inclination. All that is strange interests me, by land and sea; folklore, real stories, real mysteries, ghosts, bogles and things that go bump in the night.I have lived in a haunted house, scanned Loch Ness for the monster and presently live in the shadow of an 800 year old monastery in the North of Scotland. Jack's Strange Tales, a series of books about folklore, history and mythology in the UK and Ireland.
