Ballygullion Ballads was a book of poetry written by Northern Irish writer Leslie Montgomery published
in 1936. William Conor provided the illustrations for this and several later editions of the book. Previous
to this, Montgomery had written the Ballygullion series, twenty books which fondly caricatured Northern
Irish village life. Ballygullion is an imaginary townland area in the Slieve Gullion region of County Down.
