Meeting the Other Crowd

The Fairy Stories of Hidden Ireland

De: Eddie Lenihan, Carolyn Eve Green

Narrado por: Roger Clark

"The Other Crowd", "The Good People", "The Wee Folk", and "Them" are a few of the names given to the fairies by the people of Ireland. Honored for their gifts and feared for their wrath, the fairies remind us to respect the world we live in and the forces we cannot see.

In these tales of fairy forts, fairy trees, ancient histories, and modern true-life encounters with the Other Crowd, Eddie Lenihan opens our eyes to this invisible world with the passion and bluntness of a seanchai, a true Irish storyteller.

Great account of the fairy belief in Ireland

Great narrator and entertaining and interesting first-hand accounts of meetings with the good neighbors.

Almost as good as Eddie himself!

Rodger Clark is a fine speaker! he is the voice of Arthur Morgan from red Dead redemption 2. it would have been even better to hear Eddie read it, but you can't have everything.

Absolutely Love

Great book! I love the stories from Eddie Lenihan. Looking forward to listening to again and again. Roger Clark does an awesome job of reading the stories.

Wonderful Stories

Interesting stories read in an authentic Irish dialect. Enjoy these well told cautionary tales of adventure and mishap with the other crowd.

Tinker bell, I think not!

Overall the whole book was wonderful. The stories entertaining,funny and very much spooky to be told. If you believe in the Fay or don’t believe in fairies it makes you wonder that the forts and their homes are to be respected.

A collection of short stories from Irish lore

You can listen start to finish or can listen to a story or two at a time. Whether you believe them or not they are a terrific collection and are narrated beautifully.

The reality we take for granted may not be as fixed as we think!

My review title is taken from one of the stories in the book.
This book consists of stories of varying length some of which are only as long as two or three minutes. Some of the stories are very similar to other stories because they involved different characters or different locations. This just goes to show a common thread in many of the Irish folk tales. The narrator is so wonderful. It sounded like he was telling his own experiences. Sometimes I played the audiobook just for the sound of his voice. And then I would go back later and replay in order to catch the details of the story itself. This is a fun book andit might even make you believe in fairies.

Blessed Be the Storyteller.

Mr Lenihan is a Master storyteller if ever there was one. I loved this book from cover to cover. I highly recommend this book should you have a craving for the stories once told by the people of Ireland. No man can spin a story quite like Mr Lenihan. Blessed Be

The stories in this book are told in a way that kept me so interested and engaged.
Well written and magnificently told. I loved every minute of it!

Great cultural listen

Lots of great stories from the darker side of fairy. It’s fun to hear stories that inspire so many fantasy novels
