Here is folklore from Ireland’s Béara Peninsula, a realm where myth, legend and history are woven into the rugged, wave-ravaged landscape. Béara: Rescued Folklore, Histories and Songs from Ireland’s South-West, the third book in Mike Baldwin’s Rescued Folklore series, unveils the tales, songs, and customs that define this storied land. Collected by the children of the Béara between 1937 and 1939, this volume preserves the voices of the past - stories passed through generations, tales of ancient battles, hidden treasures, supernatural encounters, and everyday lives shaped by resilience and tradition.Here, the legacy of chieftains and clans endures. From sacred wells to shipwrecks along the rugged coastline, each story reveals a facet of Béara’s cultural heritage, illuminating the strength and spirit of its people. These pages invite the reader to rediscover the timeless landscapes and enduring legends of Ireland’s wild southwest, where each mountain, valley, and shore holds echoes of the past.
