Cathal to All, Greetings:

	Earlier this PM I responded to a posting regarding period story-
telling.  This response never echoed back on the Bardic list.  FYI
here is the gist thereof:
	A very useful reference for those interested in Irish medieval
tales and the telling thereof is:
	_Gaelic Folk-Tales and Mediaeval Romances_
	Alan Bruford
	Dublin, The Folklore of Ireland Society, 1969
	(No ISBN).
	
	I mentioned in the lost posting that another useful reference
for those interested in the poetic forms of the period was _Early
Celtic Versecraft_ and promised to cite the bibliographic info for
the same as soon as the Bauchan who infests my library would give me leave
to find it. . .ill tempered Sidhe, never could take a joke! :}
Anyway, the info on _Early Celtic Versecraft_ precedes this on the list.
I hope it may be of interest.

Salvete,
Cathal Mac Edan na faeled
Barony of the South Downs, Meridies.
