R. McAnally, Jr. is a collection of folklore tales, likely written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the imaginative aspects of Irish culture, exploring a range of fantastical figures such as ghosts, banshees, fairies, and pookas, while encapsulating the rich oral storytelling tradition of the Irish people. At the start of the volume, the author provides a preface illuminating the origins of these tales, emphasizing the remarkable storytelling ability of the Irish. The opening chapter introduces "The Seven Kings of Athenry," beginning with a vivid description of the ancient castle that was once the pride of Athenry. Through the voice of a car-man, the narrative unfolds to reveal the tale of a benevolent King Dennis and his beautiful daughter, Princess Bridget, who is pursued by several young kings. The stage is set for explorations of love, rivalry, and whimsical situations that arise from the interactions between these characters, foreshadowing a rich tapestry of Irish lore that will be woven throughout the stories.
