In the winter of 1951, a storyteller, the last practitioner
of an honored, centuries-old tradition, arrives at the home
of nine-year-old Ronan O'Mara in the Irish countryside. For
three wonderful evenings, the old gentleman enthralls his
assembled local audience with narratives of foolish kings,
fabled saints, and Ireland's enduring accomplishments before
moving on. But these nights change young Ronan forever,
setting him on a years-long pursuit of the elusive,
itinerant storyteller and the glorious tales that are no
less than the saga of his tenacious and extraordinary isle.
