Ireland represents different things to different people. This book looks at different aspects of Ireland - born of her often tragic and turbulent history and coupled to the ancient and mystical faiths of her peoples. In 20th-century Ireland there are those who in the still of the night have heard the chilling wail of the banshee or glimpsed by day the silent passage of the "death coach" with its headless coachman and black horses. Throughout the length and breadth of Ireland stand the ruins of castles and churches and the desolate shells of fine old houses, legacies of the past and the murmurs of long-dead voices. This book takes readers on a journey through the four provinces of Ireland - the haunted gates of Finnebrogue, the pitiful apparition of a famine victim or the terrifying Black Cat of Kilakkee.
