The Rambling House by Willie Costello
This is a delightful book of short stories and observations. It brings us back to a time in the not too distant past when many people believed in fairies and some thought they actually saw ghosts. It was a time when neighbours in rural Ireland gathered in a local farmhouse at night, and around the fire they discussed the simple events of the neighbourhood and told stories.
The advent of television put an end to visiting and to story telling. But "The Rambling House" will revive memories of those times for people who lived through them and will give later generations an idea of what rural Ireland was like in the middle of the twentieth century. €9.99
