Book Synopsis The Seandraoi by : J Murphy
Book excerpt: A collection of three folkloric tales from Cork, as collected by a scholar from the London Irish immigrant community in the aftermath of the Great Famine. All bear the hallmarks of antiquity: The Seandraoi, a druid, who predicts the fortunes of a newborn; Our Lady and the Two Farmers, a tale of Jesus's childhood; The Tailor's Prayers, a tale of fervent prayer and resurrection which may have evolved from a thirteenth century tale of St Edmund of Abingdon, Archbishop of Canterbury, as given in the chronicles of Lanercost Priory
