The Crock of Gold James Stephens

Pass a pleasant afternoon with this delightful collection of short stories. Simple but not simplistic, these diverting tales are rendered in exquisitely rich and often playful language that will have you lingering over sentences and highlighting your favorite passages so you can revisit them again and again. The Crock of Gold is the perfect blend of literary virtuosity and lighthearted fun. A truly unique novel, a mixture of philosophy, Irish folklore and the neverending battle of the sexes, written with charm, humour and good grace.
