Na Bróga Peile agus scéalta eile

This is the first short story collection by Seosamh Céitinn.

An unexpected kiss; a teenager stumbles across a valuable object in the Burren; tense penalty shootouts; a young contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?; amateur actors stepping onto the stage for the very first time—and plenty more.

This is a captivating collection that takes readers on a variety of journeys: back to the author’s childhood in Cork; to faraway cities like Sydney, Manchester, and London; to the remote Scottish island of Barra; into the General Post Office during the Easter Rising of 1916; and to a haunting massacre site in 1914.

Seosamh Céitinn was born and raised in Cork City. He attended University College Cork, where he earned both a BA and an MA in Modern Irish before completing a Higher Diploma in Education. He spent over thirty years teaching Irish in Athlone before retiring in 2022. He published his first book, Tomás Oileánach, in 1992, about the well- known Irish-language writer Tomás Ó Criomhthain.
