44 Irish Short Stories - An Anthology Of Irish Short… por Devin A. Garrity

Gosh, hard to rate as I found a few gems but most were so-so. Some I felt were dated and all were written in the late 19th century and early 20th.
A favorite "The happy giant", a poignant fantasy by Oscar Wilde,
also outstanding were
"Saint Bakeoven" where a man interacts with Beethoven's ghost,
another fantasy: "Kith of the Elf-folk" where a fairy-like creature becomes mortal and decides it's not for her
"Father Christmas": about a department store Santa
"The hawk": anthropomorphic story and feelings of a hawk from its viewpoint.
Many of the other stories showed different aspects of the Irish character. I liked some of the writing style and cadence of Irish speech.
There should be something for everyone in this grab bag of stories.… (más)

Irish Stories & Tales: 32 Short Masterpieces por Devin A. Garrity

Collection of short stories by Irish writers; collected originally in 1955. Accordingly, the shories have some age to them. Nonetheless, some relate to the ongoing conflict in Northern Ireland, particularly "Something in a Boat" by Padraic Fallon. Others have a fantasy element to them - quite a mix overall, with some well-known names, including James Joyce, Frank O'Connor, Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats.
