A new edition of the original text of Máirtín Ó Cadhain's classic novel Cré na Cille featuring new illustraitons by the Inis Mór artist Seán Ó Flaithearta. The story unfolds almost entirely in dialogue as the newly dead arrive in the graveyard, bringing news of recent local happenings to those already confined in their coffins. Avalanches of gossip, back-biting, flirting, feuds, and scandal-mongering ensue, while the absurdity of human nature becomes ever clearer.
