I'm writing to let you know there is a new recording of one of Ella Young's books of stories, 'The Tangle-coated Horse and other tales'. It can be accessed for free at:
I am one of the readers for that free audiobook, and I have also just recorded a book of her poems, 'The weird of Fionavar', (available soon by searching the Librivox site) and am starting to record 'Celtic wonder-tales' for Librivox.org. All are public domain.
I'm sure my Gaelic pronunciations are not right, but I love Ella's fluidity and the tone at once stern and fantabulous, the colours, scents and sounds of Ireland that she pulls into her recounting of age-old, pre-Christian sagas.
Such an interesting woman I would have never heard of. This reminds me of the Shinto concept of kami, which had been of great focus for me recently. I always felt a little crazy talking to others about my "feeling the life force of the plants and earth around me." This has piqued my interest in Ella Young and I will definitely read more about her. Thank you for sharing all this information.
