A James Stephens Reader

James Stephens

“First it is a tale, and then it is philosophy, and then it is nonsense; but all these qualities are so merged and, for the reader, confounded, that the effect is one of profound laughter.” -Frank Swinnerton
Here is a superb collection from all the major works- some long unavailable- of the man who, in the words of AE, “sang with his whole being.” Readers of James Stephens’ perennial favorite The Crock of Gold will be astonished by the enormous range, peculiar depth, and dazzling variety of his work. For Stephens there are not one, but many imaginations, and he is master of them all.
