Ireland
3.9
(60)
Frank Delaney
In the winter of 1951, a storyteller, the last practitioner of an honored, centuries-old tradition, arrives at the home of nine-year-old Ronan O'Mara in the Irish countryside. For three wonderful evenings, the old gentleman enthralls his assembled local audience with narratives of foolish kings, fabled saints, and Ireland's enduring accomplishments before moving on. But these nights change young Ronan forever, setting him on a years-long pursuit of the elusive, itinerant storyteller and the glorious tales that are no less than the saga of his tenacious and extraordinary isle.

"This starts out seeming like a collection of Irish folk stories but towards the halfway point the characters develop along with the plot and you slowly realize the initial appearances of this story are not what they actually are. A collection of stories with in a novel. Worthwhile and enjoyable."
