Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

To gather folk-lore one needs, I think, leisure, patience, reverence, and a good memory. I tried not to change or alter anything, but to write down the very words in which the story had been told. Sometimes Mr. Yeats was with me at the telling; or I would take him to hear for himself something I had been told, that he might be sure I had missed or added nothing. I filled many copybooks, and came to have a very faithful memory for all sides of folk-lore, stories of saints, of heroes, of giants and enchanters, as well as for these visions. For this I have had to "pay the penalty" by losing in some measure that useful and practical side of memory that is concerned with names and dates and the multiplication table, and the numbers on friends' houses in a street.

This book is a collection of hilarious short stories and fair dinkum biographical accounts, all from the perspective of various Generation Y "Hooligans". It includes stories taken from my comedy stand-up and some other tales of adventure from people in my life. I did comedy stand up down at the Dancing Dog Café in Footscray and used most of that material for this book. I was shit-scared doing stand up comedy. I’d smash a couple of pints before getting up on stage but my hands would still be shaking with nerves by the time I got up there. Furthermore, a lot of the stories in this book are actually true.

Excerpt from Poets and Dreamers: Studies and Translations From the IrishOne winter afternoon as I sat by the fire in a ward of Gort Workhouse, I listened to two Old women arguing about the merits of two rival poets they had seen and heard in their childhood.One Old woman, who was from Kilchreest, said Raftery hadn't a stim of sight; and he travelled the whole nation; and he was the best poet that ever was, and the best fiddler. It was always at my father's house, opposite the big tree, that he used to stop when he was in Kilchreest. I often saw him; but I didn't take much notice of him then, being a child; it was after that I used to hear so much about him. Though he was blind, he could serve himself with his knife and fork as well as any man with his sight. I remember the way he used to cut the meat - across, like this. Callinan was nothing to him.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
