I'm back in County Kerry exploring a very special island on the Shannon Estuary and recounting a folklore story of a fisherman stranded on the island some 200 years ago during the construction of a gun battery, built to defend against a Napoleonic invasion.

I'm currently looking for traditional artists to produce illustrations to be integrated into future videos in this series to bring to life key moments within the story. If you're an artist with experience drawing landscapes and historical/fantasy characters and were inspired by this video then get in touch via my website: mossybottom.ie. I'd love to hear from you!

Utterly spell binding. Even though this was sad I feel enlivened from your depth of feeling while telling the story. I feel that you have a bit of magic about you, with your ability to grip us so profoundly.

Brilliant as ever Daniel and a brilliant story teller, I'm sure Ireland's RTE national broadcaster has its own program equivalent to the UK BBC's jackanory. Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of southern Ireland, county Kerry, the cliffs of Dooneen and the mighty salmon River Shannon. The Mississippi and Missouri rivers of Ireland. Have a listen to the song by the late Liam Clancy of the Clancy brothers and Thomas Makem era, a song called Shenandoah you'll find it on RU-vid Daniel. Enjoy!!!

@Julia-zj2ch 2 года назад

Oh Daniel, you have such a gift for bringing these tales to life! Along with so many other gifts you have and share. Thank you so much.

@susanfetterman7289 2 года назад

My goodness, you are such a storyteller. I know you are single, but after some of these heartfelt, intimate and evocative videos there are surely women who have fallen for you very hard. Thank you so much for sharing your gift and for being so unafraid to put your introverted self out there. As a fellow introvert - it's admirable and courageous. I hope you see this comment!

Er, a true story? There was a magic fairy, the ghost of his dead wife and a baby which materialised out of thin air..!! So I strongly suspect the 'Truth-o-meter' would say no way....!!!

@veronicaroach3667 2 года назад

I think you heard this story first in the local pub ! Such an old fashioned country folk tale - reminds me of days in my great grandmother's kitchen with hot scones & butter, a fire going in the old black stove, and plenty of kids arguing about nothing ! And I'm 82 now & that memory was in London, but the old life was so similar everywhere in those days !

@lovelyskull3483 2 года назад

@marirose19 2 года назад

On summer solstice every year there is a festival on the hill of Tara. Kind of like a pagan ritual and very spiritual, I know it's a long drive for you but imo Tara is one of the most beautiful places on earth I hope you can visit sometime!

@lavondacarter7228 2 года назад

Hi Daniel, so love seeing the places you visit, my ancestors are Irish, think that's why I love rocks so much, wishes for health and safety for you, from Tennessee.

@lynj-c9153 2 года назад

@pilarjaenes Год назад

This tale certainly reflects the wild climate , the harsh terrain, the struggle the Irish people have to bear with that. Their Fairy tales and quite macho superstitions, the pain,the fear, the guilty feelings. Also their relentless bravery to survive and their generosity. It is nice you have gone to same place to tell the folklore tale although it is now a barren land instead of a woodland. It is quite difficult to try to translate your thoughts into a different language of yours but I think I am understood. The tale has touched me. Thanks for sharing your performance on the spot that makes the tale more true.

@AquilaCat 2 года назад

I love the way you tell these stories. Seeing the places you're talking about and hearing the sounds of nature there as you're talking just compliments the stories so well. Thank you for sharing these stories with us. You're really great at engaging your audience

@SpanishEclectic 2 года назад

So lovely, Daniel. Your storytelling keeps getting better and better. I grew up reading folktales from other countries, and appreciate that many do not have typical happy endings. What a fascinating place...there is nothing like standing at 'Land's End', facing the great, wide ocean (even if for me it's the Pacific). I have studied the Napoleonic Wars, and an invasion of Ireland was a consideration. Thank you for bringing us along on your travels. Cheers from California.
