Moll Anthony and popular tradition in the east of Ireland

Erin Kraus

‘A delightful study … It presents an interesting case for the preservation of folk traditions in the east of Ireland … clear and illuminating, and a joy to read … Kraus is to be congratulated for creating a very worthwhile study, well-written and argued, and an excellent resource for those interested in folk culture, fairy beliefs, charmers and healers, and the continuation of early traditions in modernized regions of the island’, Sharon Paice MacLeod, CSANA newsletter (2015).
