On Samhain Eve, Hanrahan, a red-haired hedge schoolmaster and poet, sits down to cards in a village barn and is lured away from his sweetheart into a faery enchantment that shapes the rest of his life. These linked tales follow his wanderings through the Irish countryside, his songs and curses, his vision and his death.
Yeats’s prose at its most musical, steeped in the folklore of the west of Ireland. Download the free EPUB.
