Ba duine ilghnéitheach é Andaí Mac Dáibhéid (1914-2003) a rugadh i gClochar na nGabhar i nGaeltacht Thír Chonaill. Bhí sé ina shaineolaí ar chúrsaí aimsire agus bhí reachairt ar an réamh-aisnéis aimsire a thugadh sé ó Thír Chonaill go Ciarraí. Bhí buanna iontacha aige: an aibíocht intinne, an chuimhne, an deis a labhartha, an cruinneas, an binneas agus an Ghaeilge shaibhir ghlinn.

Bailiúchán dá chuid scéalta agus seanchais atá ar fáil sa leabhar seo mar aon le léargas ar an phobal as ar eascair sé agus ar stair shóisialta an phobail sin.

Tá dlúthdhiosca istigh leis an leabhar seo, a thugann deis dúinn cluas a thabhairt do scéalta agus do chanúint Andaí.

Andaí Mac Dáibhéid (1914-2003) was born in Cloghernagore in the Donegal Gaeltacht in 1914. He was renowned as a weather expert whose forecasts were eagerly awaited from Donegal to Kerry. He was also famed as a storyteller and this book brings together a collection of his stories and lore as well as giving the reader an insight into his community and the social history of that community. There is an accompanying cd on which Andaí can be heard telling some of his stories in his own rich dialect of Irish.
