About this book

Two Philosophers live with their wives in a dark pine wood, handing out wisdom to the country folk until murder, arrest, and the old gods upend their quiet. When a neighbour's daughter is carried off by the god Pan, and later by Aengus Og, one Philosopher sets out to bring her home, while the leprechauns of Gort na Cloca Mora scheme to reclaim a stolen crock of gold. James Stephens braids Irish folklore, sly comedy, and long philosophical digressions into a story that works as both fairy tale and argument about happiness. First published in 1912, it won the Polignac Prize and remains his best loved book.
