In story, song, and spontaneous essay, these texts, selected from \u003ci\u003ePassing the Time in Ballymenone\u003c\/i\u003e, tell of the coming of Christianity, of endless war, of the hardships and delights of rural life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring a time of trouble, Henry Glassie came into a community of active story-tellers in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland, and in this book he sets their voices--their chuckles, whispers, and anger--before us.
