Author: BREATNACH, Caoilte.
Tubber: Beagh Integrated Rural Development Association, 2003. 224 pages. Illustrated. Paperback.
Memories in Time - Folklore of Beithe: 1800-2000 provides a unique insight into the lives and stories of a rural community in the parish of Beagh, Tubber, Co Galway. This book for the most part is based on the extensive collection of John Flanagan, a local folklorist who took a keen interest in the stories of the older generation. Flanagan’s work in the 1930s on behalf of the Irish Folklore Commission was predominantly in the Irish language.
Now, for the first time, this important body of work is made accessible to the wider public in English. In addition to the excellent archive photographs, the book contains passages from two separate folklore projects in Beithe (1950s and 1995-96), thus providing a further link in the chain of oral tradition.
