- Abstract
- en_US The bookdealer writes this: One day a man called Domhnall Ó Cearbhaill had a brilliant idea, he would make an Irish version of Aesop's fables available. The storyteller Pádraig Mac Con Iomaire did the work for him and this resulted in Aesop I gConamara. Nollaig Mac Congail presents to us a beautiful edition complete with introduction and background information. I note several things about this lovely volume. First, there is a fine colored illustration on the dust-jacket. Does it represent the deer that ate foolishly from the vine that was helping to cover him? Here it seems a goat has taken the deer's place. Secondly, the book is signed by the editor. Thirdly, pages 61 through 177 present a fable a page. Fourthly, one reading the notes (184-92) notices a good deal of English interspersed in the Gaelic. This is a very nicely produced book!
