Dublin Folk Tales
Brendan’s gathering of stories have been passed from generation to generation and include stories that give his home city its unique character.
They range from the strange to the profound, from the tragic to the festive, from season to season and age to age.
But, most of all they are about Dubliners and their city, every one, told by a Dublin storyteller.
There is even a dedicated website set up here. Take a look.

Stop Press: Barking Mad is now available as a Kindle download to take with you wherever you go.
