Official synopsis Publisher
In The Demi-Gods, the Irish poet and fabulist James Stephens goes one better than his classic fantasy The Crock of Gold. He composes an even more daring fable out of tinkers, angels, heroes, musicians and other denizens of heaven, hell and outer space. A complex drama of greed, love, jealousy and sexual passion works its way through a world of wild humour that takes us along the little roads of Ireland and the mysterious pathways of the stars.
In his introduction Augustine Martin argues persuasively that The Demi-Gods is the ‘funniest and most ingenious of Stephen’s prose fantasies’.
