Meeting the Other Crowd: The Fairy Stories of Hidden Ireland

by Eddie Lenihan


"The Other Crowd", "The Good People", "The Wee Folk" and "Them" are a few of the names given to the fairies by people in Ireland. Honoured for their gifts and feared for their wrath, the fairies remind us to respect both the world we live in and forces we cannot see.
In Meeting The Other Crowd, Eddie Lenihan presents a book about a hidden Ireland, a land of mysterious taboos, dangers, other worldly abductions, enchantments and much more.

It is a world which most Irish people acknowledge exists, but which few of them, except the very oldest or professional folklorists, know much more about.
Eddie Lenihan opens our eyes to this invisible world with the passion and bluntness of a great storyteller.
In doing so he provides one of the finest collections of Irish folklore in modern times.
