More Information

The Land of Cockayne is a satirical poem thought to have been written by a Franciscan friar in Ireland during the 14th century and forms part of a larger body of work known as the Kildare Poems.

he story goes that Cockayne is a land of plenty where hard times didn't exist. It was a fictional utopia, a parody of Paradise where idleness and gluttony were the name of the game. Houses were made of barley sugar and cakes, the streets were paved with pastry and everything in the shops was free! The weather was always fine, Wine flowed like water and eternal youth was a given!
