Colourful Tales of life in Co Donegal 6 Feb 2012

By Elinor Carlisle

Format:Kindle Edition

I truly loved this book.

Ms MCCullough's evocative characterisation brings these stories to life in a delightful absorbing way. You can't read just one of them.

From a prize pig race to a singing dog and a teacher's secret you are sure to find something to delight you. The stories expplore facets of human nature and experience in a lively way and the Seanachie (storyteller) Seamus O'Hare is a true master of his craft as he spellbinds us. I am curently unable to select a favourite.

I have just one complaint about this book and that is that it simply is not long enough.

A Bit of Irish Blarney 4 Feb 2012

By teresa geering

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Picture the scene of an old fashioned Irish pub with a peat fire roaring with life. The smoke from the burning peat spilling over anyone close enough. Sitting in the corner in an old chair is The Seanachie - storyteller. Maybe a clay pipe in his hand but definitely a drink in the other.
So sets the scene in my mind of The Seanachie by Gerry McCullough. This magnificent storyteller has done it again. Each individual story has it's own Gaelic charm, so much so that it hard to choose a favourite. I can thoroughly recommend these lovely stories and happy to give them a five star rating.

Delightful Tales 21 Jan 2012

By Babs Morton

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was fortunate to have this wonderful collection with me on my kindle during an extended journey. These heart warming tales are beautifully told with subtle Irish humour and I'd have to say the race of the two fat piggies is my current favourite.
It was very easy to conjure up images of the mischievous Old Seamus, who's heart is always in the right place, as he related his many adventures.In fact all of the characters mentioned had something about them that made you want to read on.

A delightful read, definitely recommended.
