Previously unpublished stories by Peig Sayers. Severely 'edited' by the cultural powers that formed and built the new Irish state, Peig was a compulsory text on the Irish Leaving Certificate exams for generations of pupils. But there was a lot more to Peig than tales of poverty and hardship - in this selection of previously unpublished stories, a new, earthier, funnier and more dramatic storyteller emerges. Based on RTAe, UCD and BBC archives, and translated by UCD's Bo Almqvist and Padraig A"'Healai, Ireland's leading experts on Peig, the book includes CDs with archived recordings of Peig telling these stories, and is published in a unique dual-language edition.
