Part 1
An Old Woman's Reflections translated from the Irish by Seamus Ennis edited for broadcasting by W. R. Rodgers Read by Mary O'Farrell
The West Coast of Ireland is the last haven of the tradition of bardic storytelling that has run like an artery through European culture time out of mind. Peig Saycrs (1873-1958) was the queen of these Irish storytellers, and her ' old woman's reflections ' both give a wonderful insight into the life of the Irish peasant on the Great Rlasket island and show the richness of her dramatic gift.
