  2. In The Ould Ago, meaning 'a long time ago', is a book of Illustrated Irish Folklore book by Johnny McKeagney. Comprising two hundred intricately hand-drawn illustrated pages of Irish traditions, crafts, history, emigration stories, countryside, wildlife, myths and customs it is all sewn together in a case-bound hardback A3 size cover. A self-taught historian and artist, his prefaces are written by some heavy-hitting academics and historians. For forty years Johnny collected folklore by pen and tape recorder from counties straddling both sides of the border in Ireland. He details stories and events then sketches all the salient points with a fine nib so that readers of any age can easily visualise the topics. • https://folklorebook.com/

  3. In The Ould Ago has been selected for admission to many Ivy League university libraries, including Harvard, Notre Dame, UCLA and Boston College, as well as New York Public Libraries and Library of Congress in Washington. Johnny's illustrated and written collection is preserved in the Fermanagh museum while his recorded material is being digitised by the UCD Folklore Department for the National Irish Archive. Sadly Johnny passed away on the 1st of December 2010, just 5 weeks after seeing his life's work published. Seeing his stories and illustrations published gave him tremendous happiness. His wife Teresa passed on the 1st of November 2018. May God rest their souls. • https://folklorebook.com/
