Ireland
by Frank Delaney
Read by the author
Irish
writer Frank Delaney pens an extensive tale about a child and a storyteller.
Ronan is nine. Ronan has heard about storytellers and the subject
entrances him. One storyteller seems to cross Ronan's path more often
than not. He entertains Ronan and others as he spins his tales about
the Irish people, their history and their myths, but Ronan's mother
doesn't like it when the storyteller comes around. Others sometimes
laugh at him or mock him, but once he begins a tale, all stop to listen.
Ronan seems to be the most fascinated by the storyteller and seeks
him out, wanting to learn more about his stories. Ronan's story is
the platform Delany uses to present the Irish anecdotes and yarns
told by the storyteller.
This
audio book is a lengthy listen, but one doesn't really notice because
like the characters in the novel once it all begins you can't help
but stop and listen. Ireland is a fascinating, enjoyable
listen.
