This marks Alan Titley’s first collection of short stories since the release of his renowned work LEABHAR NÓRA NÍ ANLUAIN (1998). Despite his subsequent contributions in the form of several novels, Titley has remained dedicated to the craft of short storytelling, a commitment evident in this anthology, which includes seven award-winning tales from the Oireachtas competition. Notably, the majority of these stories are previously unpublished, enhancing the collection’s novelty. The compilation boasts a rich tapestry of stories, encompassing various genres: traditional narratives steeped in antiquity to enchanting fables, stirring accounts of heroism and romance, and beyond.
