An islander, who was also recognized as a Celtic scholar, recalls a way of life now all but forgotten, including: the harvests of the land of the sea; children's games and pastimes; traditional folktales as told round the peat fires; social customs and occasions; and notable characters of the day, such as Niggardly Mary, William-be-seated, Swarthy Kenneth and the Splay-Footed Beast of the Wood.
