Everything is told as if it happened to the storyteller himself, and as if these extra-ordinary events could happen to you or anybody.

Patrick Kennedy (1801-1873) was a Dublin bookseller, who spent the first twenty years of his life in Wexford. Fifty years after he heard his stories at some fireplace, in some kitchen, he wrote them down as he remembered them.
