Mercurial, intoxicating, witty or sad, the Irish short story is as full of charm (and blarney) as the people themselves.This is a selection of thirty-eight stories covering many generations and many moods of Irish writing. It begins with an exquisite love story, an ancient saga retold by Lady Gregory; continues with George Moore and the birth of the modern short story at the turn of the century; includes such preeminent writers as James Joyce, Sean O'Faolain, Mary Lavin and Liam O'Flaherty, whose work re-established the tradition of the short story; and concludes with the newer but no less practised exponents of the art - Elizabeth Bowen, William Trevor and Edna O'Brien.

First written down in the eighth century AD, these early Irish stories depict a far older world - part myth, part legend and part history. Rich with magic and achingly beautiful, they speak of a land of heroic battles, intense love and warrior ideals, in which the otherworld is explored and men mingle freely with the gods. From the vivid adventures of the great Celtic hero Cu Chulaind, to the stunning 'Exile of the Sons of Uisliu' - a tale of treachery, honour and romance - these are masterpieces of passion and vitality, and form the foundation for the Irish literary tradition: a mythic legacy that was a powerful influence on the work of Yeats, Synge and Joyce.

This anthology is in many was a ‘best of the best’, containing gems from thirty-four of Britain's outstanding contemporary writers. It is a book to dip into, to read from cover to cover, to lend to friends and read again. It includes stories of love and crime, stories touched with comedy and the supernatural, stories set in London, Los Angeles, Bucharest and Tokyo. Above all, as you will discover, it satisfies Samuel Butler's anarchic pleasure principle: 'I should like to like Schumann's music better than I do; I daresay I could make myself like it better if I tried; but I do not like having to try to make myself like things; I like things that make me like them at once and no trying at all ...'
