Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
A holiday treat from one of Irelandâs most celebrated storytellers.
This bountiful collection of more than fifty tales by one of Irelandâs liveliest and most popular writers offers holiday charm and Gaelic humor by the Christmas stockingful. Drawing on the rich folk culture of County Kerry, John B. Keane brings new life to old customs in his portrayals of not-so-ordinary country people during the Christmas season.
Keane revisits the Christmases celebrated by characters like Dotie Tupper and Johnny Naile, the doughty Canon Doyle and deaf Canon Cornelius Coodle, the amiable spendthrift Aenias Mackson, and Hiccups OâReilly, who disappears one Christmas Eve and isnât seen again for seven years. Keane bears delightful witness to the trials and triumphs of the inhabitants of County Kerry, Ireland.
ÂCreates a charming emotional map of fictitious but authentic-seeming place.â ÂBoston Globe
ÂA safe, sardonic voice . . . Handle[s] sentiment in a way that respects both the story and the audience.â ÂMinneapolis Star Tribune
Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fictionÂnovels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
