Yarns: Nine Quite Unbelievable Irish Short Stories

Soaked in spirits and drizzled in mist, YARNS is a collection of real short stories set in the fictional land of West Clare. Or fictional short stories set in the real land of West Clare. That is to say, don't believe everything you read. Cute hoors abound, not to mention greyhound-tamperers, amorous octogenarians, first-time fishermen, snickering clergymen and nocturnally-vigorous undertakers; everything Bord Failte would love to advertise but legally can't, for fear of appearing to condone this sort of thing. YARNS also contains a bonus: The Author’s Guide to Tracing, including correct usage of the Nyeh! (not to be confused with either the Yerrah! or the Sure!). WARNING: Contents include coffee, coffins, greyhounds, graveyards, squirrels, crossbows, tracing, turf and tractors. May also contain suspect morals, colourful language and observations on life as it is lived out west. No added sugar.
