    1. Well, Sue, the other Blascadian authors wrote in Gaeilge/Gaelic, fortunately, though, got translated into English and German, as there are: Peig Sayers, Muiris Ó Súilleabháin and Tomás Ó Criomhthain. Just click their names.

    1. Ha, welcome to Omnium, Shari.
      Yes, I think you will like reading the letters. I enjoyed reading all the Blascadian writers, and sometimes still regret that I was too lazy to seriously learn Gaeilge.
