Book excerpt: Michael Hendrick is a proud and intemperate man. In a wild drunken stupor, he sells his wife (Susanna) and infant daughter (Megan-Leanne) to a sailor named Redmond at a county fair in South Wexford. Sober and filled with remorse, Hendrick searches in vain for his wife and child. Years later, Redmond is reported as lost at sea. Susanna and her daughter finally return to County Wexford. They discover that Hendrick has for some time lived in the prosperous neighbourhood of Castlebridge. Susanna, wishing to effect a reconciliation with her estranged husband, enjoins Megan-Leanne to make enquiries around the town. They soon learn how Hendrick has long since vowed to abstain from alcohol and is now directing a hugely successful barley business. To his wife's astonishment, he is highly respected in the community and has even been elected to the prestigious office of Town Mayor! But Hendrick's earlier sweetheart, with whom he had been intimate in their teens, believes the Mayor to be long widowed. She resolves to settle in Castlebridge and marry her former lover. Yet it's only when Megan-Leanne falls in love with Hendrick's foreman (Dubliner Robert Ferguson) that events take a nasty turn few could have predicted!

Book Synopsis Green Hills of Magic by : Ruth Ann Musick
Download or read book Green Hills of Magic written by Ruth Ann Musick and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early years of this century, miners from nearly every country in Europe and Asia Minor migrated to West Virginia to seek employment in its great collieries. With them they brought many folktales and legends of then homelands. Ruth Ann Musick has collected some of the best and most representative of these stories -- never before published in book form -- in The Green Hills of Magic. In many instances, these tales were first related in family circles in the native languages of the tellers, later to be translated by their younger English-speaking descendants. Entertaining in themselves, the stories are also excellent examples of the diverse folk beliefs and cultural patterns of the national and ethnic immigrant groups. The tales are attractively illustrated with more than twenty black-and-white drawings.
