Tales from Tipperary

By: Edward Hickey

Narrated by: Tony Robinson

Full of amusement, this series of fictional tales starts with a Galwayman’s arrival in Tipperary’s post-famine days and portrays the daily lives of a hillside community.

Crafted in the colloquial and lyrical language of some of our ancestors, it tells - amongst others - such diverse stories as the reliance of families on children poaching rabbits, on the pre-dawn cattle-droving days of a young school-leaver, the reappearance of a dead girl to her newly born sister...along with a number of love-hate incidents, like the townie scorn for a mountainy man at the show-fair, before he walks off with the big trophy!
