Edited by legendary short-story writer Frank O’Connor, this Collins National Anthology (first issued 1959, crisp 1979 reprint) blends myth, memoir, history, and verse—plus 52 black-and-white photographs—to capture Ireland’s spirit from Kilkenny Castle to the streets of Dublin.
Add this anthology to your cart and let each page play like a folk tune in your mind.
Cork-born O’Connor (1903-1966) is famed for realist stories such as “Guests of the Nation.” His deep love for Irish vernacular shines in this hand-picked collection.
