About this listen

"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.

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.

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.

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

Fantastic storytelling but.....

I truly love the narration by Roger Clark! He is animated and captivating, and so I didn't get the sense at all of someone reading a book aloud, rather, it was very much like being regaled by a master story teller, which is a very rare thing among audio books. I don't want to take away from anyone's sense if what are traditional tales of The Other Crowd, aka faeries, I will just say my own sense is that these curated tales are much more about the mystical powers of beloved Catholic priests in recognizing and banishing or breaking the curses of faerie folk. That was rather disappoint. The masterful naration makes this a very worthy listen, but for me, the content didn't honor the older traditions and beliefs.
