Description: Binding: Paperback
Date Published: 01 Jan 2026
Nestling between the Clare hills and overlooking Kilbarron Lake stands a two-roomed thatched cottage, once the home of a notorious red-headed woman called Biddy Early. Arguments still persist as to whether Biddy was a witch or a person of God, because she possessed powers and natural gifts beyond the comprehension of those who knew her personally. To this day, the very mention of her name in any part of Ireland, especially County Clare, releases an astonishing flood of stories, cures, prophecies, warnings and broken spells.
About the Author: Meda Ryan was born in West Cork and educated at University College Cork and New York City College. A historian and journalist, she is the author of many books, including The Tom Barry Story. The Day Michael Collins Was Shot and Michael Collins and the Women in His Life. She lives in Ennis, County Clare.
