Description
The Tailor and Ansty by Eric Cross is a novel that has become infamous for its controversy upon publication in 1942. Despite being banned soon after, it has since gained recognition as an important work of Irish literature. Eric Cross's writing brings to life the world of the Tailor, who, despite never leaving Scotland, managed to weave a rich tapestry of humour and fantasy that encompasses all aspects of human experience. From marriages to inquests, matchmaking to wakes, the Tailor's stories are full of life and colour. This novel is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling, with its unique characters and their black cow at its heart.
