Description
|
|
|
|
Full of good cheer for the Christmas season and the long nights of winter, this playful collection of more than 50 tales by Irish pub owner and playwright John Keane revisits the Christmases eccentrically celebrated by the likes of Dotie Tupper and Johnny Naile, the doughty Canon Doyle and the deaf Canon Cornelius Coodle, the amiable spendthrift Aenias Mackson and Hiccups O'Reilly, who disappears one Christmas for seven years. With a wit that is, like these stories, "hilariously Irish, shrewdly accurate, and richly creative" (Irish Times), Keane bears witness to the travails and triumphs, the failings and the strengths, of the folk of rural Ireland.
