Field Guide to Irish Aquatic Monsters Galway and Connemara Gary Cunningham

This volume is an off-shoot of our comprehensive Irish Aquatic Monsters a Survey and Definitive Guide. It is designed to complement our previous work and gives an overview of the historic, folkloric and mythological record of aquatic monsters associated with Galway and Connemara. Each volume has geo-spatial co-ordinates for monster locations, a suspect list and in-depth documented accounts from each lough with a monster association; from religious accounts to records from the National Folklore Collection of Ireland. Other guides document similar information for Connacht, Munster and Ulster and are designed for researchers, explorers and tourists for use in the field. From the aughisky or water-horse to the horse-eels of Connemara.
