All human life is here, and Keane tells its story in an astonishing
procession of remarkable characters and in rare humorous glimpses of his
own career. There are more shades to John B. Keane's humour than there
are colours in the rainbow. Compassion, shrewdness and a glorious sense
of fun and roguery are evident in this collection, which brings together
John B. Keane's tales. A fitting tribute to John B. Keane, for decades
Ireland's favourite storyteller, this winning short story collection
typifies the late author's folkloric imagination and storytelling arts.
