Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sport in the Olden Time No pastime has ever held in England the position which was held for centuries by cock-fighting. Cock-fighting was, to quote the title of an old treatise, "the pleasure of Princes"; it was practised by the highest of the nobility and by the humblest peasant. Love of "cocking" permeated society from top to bottom It is unpleasant to dwell on the shortcomings of our ancestors, more especially upon a defect which gave zest to their amusements; for the institution whose history is traced in the following pages was hardly less cruel than bull-baiting and bear-baiting The interest this now discredited institution has for us in modern days arises from its former popularity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Olive Sharkey is the daughter of farmers in the midlands of Ireland. 'I belong to a family which was the last in our district to relinquish the old ways on the land and in the home,' she says. Her research brought her to folk museums throughout Ireland and 'into the homes of fascinating elderly folk with surprisingly clear memories.' The daily and seasonal rhythms of life and work 'in the ould days' is recaptured, from building the house and turning the sod for a new crop, to saving the hay and burying the dead.
