Ulster Folklore
by F.R.A.I. Elizabeth Andrews
About the author
Very little widely confirmed biographical information about Elizabeth Andrews appears to survive online. She is credited as F.R.A.I., which indicates an association with the Royal Anthropological Institute, and she is known for Ulster Folklore, published in the early 20th century.
That book gathers traditions, legends, and popular beliefs connected with Ulster, including fairy lore and older regional stories. Her work has remained available through public-domain editions and library records, which suggests a lasting interest in her contribution to folklore studies.
Because reliable personal details are scarce, her reputation today rests mainly on the book itself and its careful attention to oral tradition and local belief. For listeners drawn to folklore, myth, and the history of storytelling, her writing offers a compact but intriguing glimpse into the cultural world of Ulster.
