Résumé
A collection of stories. In form it is a magic alphabet, from A to Z, with subjects drawn from chillingly comic Irish fairy tales; from Ovid's "Metamorphoses"; and from the history of the Dutch Golden Age. These sources are united by the author's wonder at the preservation of stories by time.

Fishing for Amber by Ciaran Carson
Dazzlingly weaves Irish fairy tales, Ovid's Metamorphoses and the history of the Dutch golden age into the form of a magical alphabet. Carson triumphs over the distinction between fact and fiction in the pleasure of telling his stories.
Ciaran Carson lives in Belfast. He has been awarded the Irish Times Irish Literature Prize and the T.S. Eliot Prize, as well as the Yorkshire Post Prize for The Star Factory, also available from Granta Books.
