The Crock of Gold
by James Stephens
Spend a lovely afternoon with this wonderful collection of short stories. Simple but not simple, these distracting stories are conveyed in an elegantly rich and often entertaining language that will allow you to linger over sentences and highlight your favorite passages so you can revisit them again and again. "Golden Step" is the perfect combination of literary virtuosity and carefree entertainment. A truly unique novel, a mixture of philosophy, Irish folklore and an endless battle of essays, written with charm, humor and good elegance.
