Standún
Voices of Connemara
The book contains 51 interviews among them: * Martin Flaherty on the Black and Tans * Julia Greaney on the Fair Day at Spiddal * Cáit Nic an Iomaire on making her own wedding dress * Festy Conlon on his father’s first fife.
Set against Standún’s stunning images are stories of poitín for two bob, the baker’s island-delivery boat and the trials of line fishing, alongside darker tales still vibrant in the collective memory, of landlord brutality, famine and emigration.
Co-edited by Raymonde Standún and Bill Long, who also introduces the volume, here are the extraordinary voices of the ordinary people of Connemara, voices of the living as well as the dead.
Let customers speak for us
I love him! He came a little wrinkly, but he's so perfect still.
Ordered on line, communication was very good. Great customer service, thank you.
Bought this for my grownup daughter. Absolutely beautiful! Pegged his ears down to look like our ‘Teds!’
These wool slippers are the warmest and the most durable you'll ever find out there. Thank you Standún for selling them :-)
These were a gift for a family in the US and they were absolutely delighted with them. Ordering was easy and shipment very reasonable and timely. I had a query which was answered quickly too.
Very pleased with the Kaffe Memba Dress. Great fit.
Enjoyed shopping in Standun. So professional and friendly staff.
It’s super soft and the blueberries are so adorable! It’s a great addition to my collection.
Great selection of colours. It has a lovely soft lining inside too so it's nice if you're only wearing a t-shirt underneath. Has some padding so great for all year really. Daughter is hoping the teal comes back in stock for her next coat for all year
