A Journey to The Seven Streams

Born in Omagh, Co. Tyrone. Benedict Kiely has for many years been one of Ireland's leading men-of-letters. Critic, travel-writer, biographer, author of many distinguished novels, broadcaster but it is as a short story writer that he has made an international reputation. His first collection, A Journey to the Seven Streams, has been out of print since shortly after its publication in 1963, and this selection from it makes available again many of the short stories which securely placed Benedict Kiely alongside the great Irish masters of the form. This book is one of a series devoted to the modern Irish short story. Ireland's contribution to the short story is world famous, but much of the best work both of the acknowledged masters end of the new hands is either out of print or has never been published in book form. The aim of this series is to make that work generally available. Cover Design/Steven Hope Photograph/Bord Failte
