Summary "Castles of Ireland: Some Fortress Histories and Legends" by Constance Louisa Adams is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the significant castles of Ireland, providing accounts of their histories and associated legends. It aims to illuminate the turbulent past encapsulated in these fortifications, many of which have been overlooked or forgotten. At the start of the book, the author explains the abundant presence of castles across Ireland and sets the stage for a detailed exploration of their significance. In the introduction, Adams mentions that the book serves as a first attempt to compile their histories, though it may not cover every castle due to the sheer number. She reflects on how these ruins stir a sense of history and nostalgia, while also hinting at the legends surrounding some of the castles, which often include tales of battles, noble families, and ghosts. The opening portion establishes a tone that intertwines factual accounts with rich folklore, inviting readers to delve into both the architectural and mythical aspects of these historical sites.
