Summary
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

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.
