Synopsis
A bestseller back home, Frank Delaney's history of Ireland has now captured the hearts of Americans. Delaney creates a focus for his spellbinding tales: young Ronan O'Mara, age nine, who is in thrall to the narratives of a man known as the Storyteller when the old man appears in his town looking for a hot meal. Ronan's family takes him in and, inspired by what he hears around the fireside after supper, Ronan himself becomes a storyteller, obsessed with his land and its legends, and determined, when the man disappears, to find him again. His double quest--for both stories and storyteller--forms the basis for Delaney's enthralling saga.
