Introduced by the celebrated broadcaster and novelist Frank Delaney and illustrated with evocative artwork by David Rooney, this Folio Society edition brings together a rich tapestry of tales that chronicle the Irish experience — its grief, its laughter, its mythology, and its fierce, unyielding humanity.\n\nThe collection presents some of the finest short fiction ever written in the English language, drawing on the work of iconic writers who shaped the very form of the modern short story. Irish literature has long occupied a singular place in the Western canon, and this volume illustrates precisely why — the prose is spare yet incandescent, the characters unforgettable, and the emotional undertow relentless. Beautifully produced in the distinguished Folio Society tradition, this is an edition that rewards both the devoted Hibernophile and the reader discovering Ireland's literary landscape for the very first time — leaving one to wonder how a small island forged so much of the world's imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572328763611,"sku":"2026100011383-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/07240379-9344-4f91-9527-0f1bc61e59fc.png?v=1791166359","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011383-secondhand-irish-short-stories","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
