John Cowell tells and relives the history, folklore and literature of his adoptive county, and takes the reader on eight guided tours of its scenery, relics and important buildings and places. Invaluable to the first-time visitor, this book will also delight those already familiar with the county, as it is a personal account from one who remembers the years of the "troubles" and grew up on the terrifying ghost stories and mind-bending superstitions of the Sligo people of W. B. Yeats' era.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A well-written work on Sligo, in the shadow of Yeats.,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sligo Land of Yeats' Desire (Paperback)
This work is well written and enjoyable. It is all the more valuable in that it is one of the rare books on Co. Sligo still in print (although, unfortunately, temporarily back-ordered). It has some interesting B & W illustrations and colorful discussions. Much is seen through the eyes of W. B. Yeats, Sligo's most illustrious son. This adds to the work's readibility and interest. It is more a book of poetic reflections than a travelogue. A nice gift for anyone from Sligo or of Sligo ancestry.
