There are 350 substantial entries, in alphabetical order from Abán, a 6th-century saint, to Weather, all with full references to sources, a synopsis of relevant stories, and discussion of their origin, nature and development. These are complimented by a genre-list of material under various headings, such as Mythical Lore, Fianna Cycle, Ulster Cycle, King Cycles, Peoples and Traditions, Religious Lore, and Folk Custom and Belief. There is also a wealth of genealogical detail, indicating how historical and social circumstances have influenced the growth and spread of Irish lore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  DAITHI O HOGAIN, Associate Professor of Irish Folklore at University College Dublin, was an international authority on folklore and traditional literature.","brand":"Dáithí Ó hÓgáin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42959865380982,"sku":"9781837651122","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e3afddf3-3870-41fd-9bcb-78a1550c6c24.jpg?v=1767773811","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/the-lore-of-ireland-9781837651122","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
