  Peig Sayers

  Seanchaí agus dírbheathaisnéisí Éireannach ab ea í Peig Sayers (1873 - 1958).
  
  Tháinig Peig Sayers ar an saol i nDún Chaoin, baile beag i gContae Chiarraí, Éire. Phós sí Pádraig Ó Gaoithín ón mBlascaod Mór, agus d'aistrigh sí ansin leis. Ní raibh léamh ná scríobh aici, ach seanchaí den scoth ab ea í. Ba dual athar di é, nó nuair a bhí sí óg, chluineadh sí na mílte scéalta agus eachtraí á n-insint ag a hathair agus é ag déanamh airneáin le fir an bhaile. Dheachtaigh sí a cuid scéalta do Sheosamh Ó Dálaigh ó Choimisiun Bealoideasa Eireann. Tá cáil uirthi de bharr a dírbheathaisnéise, Peig. B'é a mac, Micheál, a bhreac an scéal síos uaithi, agus foilsíodh an leabhar sa bhliain 1936. Tá an leabhar ar bharr a theanga ag gach duine a thóg scrúdú Ga

They’re manly but for a thinking man. And they do have a lot of wisdom in them. If you read Happy Here and Now you’ll see that Louis is quoted there.
