About the Author
“Kiely is a great storyteller, a very gifted novelist, an extraordinary writer of short stories, and a very good broadcaster. He is a writer whose work has been consistent and abundant; … the best writer about places around Ireland that I have read’ – Brendan Kennelly ‘There could not possibly be a better companion on a walk around Ireland than Ben Kiely.” ―In Time’s Eye, The Irish Times
