About this book

The Quiet Man and Other Stories by Walsh, Maurice. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780862813079.

In the 1930s, Irish novelist Maurice Walsh placed the moors and mountains of Ireland firmly on the literary map with this celebrated collection of stories. Since then, readers have continued to be charmed by these accounts of the simple and common activities of the characters in 1920s rural Ireland. The lives of Hugh Forbes, Paddy Bawn Enright, Archibald MacDonald, Joan Hyland, and Nuala Kierley intermingle as the themes of nationalism, human dignity, honor, and love are given full play. Made famous by John Fords Oscar-winning film The Quiet Man, starring John Wayne and Maureen OHara, these remain humorous and poignant tales set against a backdrop of intrigue and Irish civil unrest.
