"Biddy Early was known and loved throughout Ireland in the nineteenth century as the Wise Woman of Clare. Though this simple peasant woman died over a hundred years ago, stories of her cures and prophesies are still whispered around the hearth on blustery winter nights. Now Nancy Willard brings this legend across the sea to a larger audience in a magical collection of poetry.." [Quoted from the dust wrapper blurb]. Fine .
