A talk about Irish storytelling, folklore and literature
Born in Dublin, Éilís Ní Dhuibhne is a notable writer, folklorist and translator of Peig Sayers, the 'Queen of Irish Storytelling'.
In this special event, Éilís explores the interaction in her work between folklore sources and contemporary writing – which has been so fruitful in Irish and Scottish literature – and the power of storytelling to animate archives.
This event is part of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival.
