' In the Land of Youth ' by James Stephens read by the author
Born in Dublin in 1882, James Stephens first attracted attention by a book of poems, ' Insurrections ', published in 1909. But it was ' The
Crock of Gold three years later, that made his reputation as a writer of exquisite and fanciful prose. Frank Swinnerton has defined the quality of his stories thus: 'First it is a tale, and then it is philosophy, and then it is nonsense ; but all these qualities are so merged that the effect is one of profound laughter.'
