Peig (LC) Irish Edition

“Peig" a classic of Gaelic literature--the autobiography of Peig Sayers, a remarkable woman who lived forty years at the edge of survival on the barren and isolated Great Blasket Island, and who came to be recognised as woman of literature and who gave a certain dimension to what became known as femininity. This is literature that must never be forgotten because it reminds us of old Ireland and of the purity of our beautiful native language. What a shame that Irish was never taught as a spoken and living language.
