Two cantankerous Philosophers live in the pine wood of Coilla Doraca, wiser than anyone save the Salmon of Knowledge. When the leprechauns’ hidden gold is stolen and a farmer’s daughter wanders off with the god Pan, one Philosopher sets out across the Irish countryside to meet the old god Angus Óg, pursued all the while by some very literal-minded policemen.

A comic, lyrical fantasy from the Irish Revival, full of fairy logic and mock-solemn philosophy. Download the free EPUB.
