A review by dfinnerty1798
Meeting the Other Crowd by Carolyn Eve Green, Eddie Lenihan

5.0

How great it is to have a reserve of these stories that are becoming increasingly purged and forgotten in modern Ireland. I must admit, reading the stories doesn’t have the same effect as listening to Eddie speak them. But nonetheless, this is a book worth cherishing and passing on. In a world where nature is continually being disrespected and destroyed, a revival of traditional folklore could do no harm. Irish language and stories are inextricably linked to the land, and these stories are further evidence of that. It is hard not to wonder how many brilliant stories have been lost to time, but this collection maintains some of those which remain.
