About this book

Three angels, Finaun, Caeltia, and Art, come down from heaven and take to the roads of Ireland in the company of Patsy Mac Cann, a wandering tinker, and his daughter Mary. Together they tramp the countryside, sharing meals, borrowed donkeys, and endless talk about love, money, reincarnation, and the nature of the soul. James Stephens turns a simple travelling tale into a warm philosophical comedy, setting earthy human appetite beside celestial curiosity. Published in 1914, it carries the same mix of folklore, humour, and gentle argument that made his earlier work so loved.

About the author

James Stephens

James Stephens (1880-1950) was an Irish poet and novelist central to the Irish Literary Revival. Largely self-taught, he won fame with The Crock of Gold and Irish Fairy Tales, retelling old Gaelic myth in his own voice. A friend of James Joyce, he also wrote lyric poetry and later broadcast for the BBC.
