This book is a celebration of the renowned Irish storyteller Peig Sayers, showing a lighter side to her than previously revealed. For generations of students, Peig Sayer's autobiography was a compulsory text on the Irish Leaving Certificate. But there was a lot more to Peig than tales of poverty and hardship. In this collection of previously unpublished stories, an earthier, funnier, and more dramatic storyteller emerges. Based on RTE and BBC archives, and translated by Ireland's leading experts on Peig, the book also includes two CDs with archived recordings of Peig's storytelling.
