In 1898 John Millington Synge made his first of many trips to the Aran Islands in an attempt to record and archive the tales, poems and songs of the three western islands off of the Galway coast. The memoir he kept of his time their makes up this book, awash with stories of the wonderful characters he met along the way and all their anecdotes.
He manages to capture a the way of life that is long since gone and it is lucky for us that he took the time to make the often perilous journey to the islands because we now have this wonderful archive of material.
