Twenty-two stories selected from eight of Lavin's published volumes, beginning with her earliest, prize-winning Tales from Bective Bridge (1943)—a number of them never before appearing in America either singly in magazines or in the American editions of her books. All of Lavin's stories are set in Ireland and shaped by the Irish people—it’s farmers, aristocrats and clergy.
