Tales woven from the turf smoke and twilight of old Ireland.

In this beautifully crafted collection, Jane Barlow-one of Ireland's most evocative literary voices of the late 19th century-gathers a series of haunting, heartfelt, and often humorous tales from the Irish countryside. Set in the quiet corners of rural life, A Creel of Irish Stories brims with lyrical prose, rich dialect, and a deep sympathy for the joys and hardships of ordinary folk.

From fateful encounters and whispered superstitions to the enduring bonds of family and community, these stories capture the soul of a people shaped by land, legend, and resilience. Barlow's keen ear and compassionate eye make each story feel like it's been carried down through generations-shared by firelight, steeped in memory.

For readers who treasure the storytelling traditions of Ireland, this collection is a forgotten gem waiting to be rediscovered.
