'Ach c???rbh ??? Peig Sayers?' N???orbh ??? in aon chor an tseanbhean olog???nach ??? ar chuir na gl???nta de dhalta??? scoile aithne uirthi.

Saola???odh Peig i nD???n Chaoin i gCo. Chiarra??? i 1873. Thug s??? bua na sc???ala???ochta l???i ???na hathair agus tugadh a s???rchuimhne agus an l??? a bh??? aici le comhluadar faoi deara go luath. Ph???s s??? iascaire ???n mBlascaod agus chaith s??? saol cru???gach i dteaghlach l???onmhar ag d???anamh c???raim don seisear leanbh l???i a mhair. Tugann Labharfad le C???ch le ch???ile den ch???ad uair na taifeadta??? a th???g an BBC agus RT??? uaithi i 1946, 1947 agus 1953, mar aon le haistri???ch???in Bh???arla orthu. L???ir???onn siad fairsinge repertoire Pheig idir sc???alta cr???ifeacha, paidreacha, sc???alta r???m???nsacha, sc???alta faoin os???d???r agus cuntais ar an saol a caitheadh tr???th ar an oile???n ach go bhfuil a chuimhne ag dul i l???ig anois. 'Who was that Peig Sayers?' She was anything but the maudlin and old-fashioned Peig remembered by generations of school children. From the descriptions of those who met her, the real Peig emerges as a warm, wise and humorous woman, with an addiction to tobacco, a fondness for a sup of whiskey and a mastery of the art of 'spin'. Born in D???n Chaoin in County Kerry in 1873, Peig learned the art of storytelling at her father's knee, and quickly became known for her sociable nature and excellent memory. Marrying a fisherman from the Great Blasket, she enjoyed a full life with a large extended family and the care of her six living children. I Will Speak to You All collects, for the first time, in both Irish and English, the recordings made by the BBC and RT??? of Peig Sayers in 1946, 1947 and 1953. They illustrate Peig's repertoire, ranging from religious stories and prayers to humorous, romantic, even supernatural tales, as well as descriptions of an island life that is passing from living memory.
