      About This Book

      MacMahon represents a particularly Irish form of storytelling that largely belongs to a bygone era.... These pieces are what their author believes good stories should be: the interesting reactions of significant characters in significant situations.--World Literature Today "MacMahon's prose achieves a beautiful sort of preciousness. `The Telescope,' for example, which concerns an obsessed man who drags his confused new bride throughout Dublin in search of a spyglass, is the full equal of O. Henry's `The Gift of the Magi'."--Publishers Weekly.
