“Overall, it felt like sitting in a park with a bunch of older people reminiscing about the past/stories told over the campfire, poetry, and a college lecture.

Ok.... to start off I had to keep reminding myself this was written in the very early 1900's. I really like Yeats as a poet, but this book was not at all what I was expecting. This was more of a research notebook. The ideas seemed scattered and the run on sentences were killing me. He never really finished the stories he was investigating. I did enjoy some of the stories that he shared, but he then end he seemed to always play them off.
Anyway... not one of my favorites for sure.”
“3.5 stars
Although very interesting way to tell these stories, the tales didn’t held me as much.
The author tells the story as the folks of the land told them, which made me like and not like at the same time how this book was written.
Also, as a non-english native speaker, can someone explain to me what “mayo woman” means?”

, were not published until after he received the Nobel. He teamed up with Lady Gregory to develop plays in Ireland and soon founded the Irish National Theatre Society. He has since inspired poets and playwrights around the world.
