The Weaver's Grave by Seumas O'kelly
Not only is The Weaver's Grave one of the best pieces of fiction in Irish literature, it is also one of the best-loved. This pastoral drama narrates with deceptive simplicity the arguments of two old men over the proper site for the weaver's burial. As their absurd, comic controversy rages, new love and life begin for his youthful widow. This book contains Seumas O'Kelly's acknowledged masterpiece and a selection of his finest stories. It reveals an extraordinary talent.
