To School Through the Fields

The biggest bestseller ever published in Ireland, this sparkling memoir of life in the Irish countryside is a book of charm and lasting appeal. ”A delightful evocation of Irishness and of the author’s deep-rooted love of `the very fields of home’, this picture of bucolic life in an earlier time, with its rituals of religion and the antics of local characters, has universal appeal.”-Publishers Weekly. ”One of the most richly evocative and moving portraits of childhood [ever written…
A journey every reader will treasure and will want to read over and over again.”-Boston Herald.

Country Days

This newest work by the acclaimed author of To School Through the Fields, Quench the Lamp and The Village is filled with character and characters, with delicious sensory memories and nostalgic tales both whimsical and warm.

Quench The Lamp

If ever a voice has captured the colors, the rhythms, the rich, bittersweet emotions of a time gone by, it is Alice Taylor’s. Her tales of childhood in rural Ireland hark back to a timeless past, to a world now lost, but ever and fondly remembered. The colorful characters and joyous moments she offers have made her stories an Irish phenomenon, and have made Alice herself the most beloved author in all of the Emerald Isle.

An Irish Country Christmas

The author recounts Christmas stories from her childhood in the snowy Irish countryside, capturing the sights and sounds of holiday festivities among her family, beginning with the lighting of the Christmas candle.

A collection of Irish stories set in the countryside, accompanied by beautiful color photographs.

The Parish

In a series of vignettes of life in her village, Alice Taylor reasserts the priorities of public space and local community. The Parish evokes and explores the positive values of community, which could be renewed and reinvigorated for a present and future that achieves harmony between comfort and the pressing need to respect the environment. ”Taylor still has a magnificent eye for touching details, and this book is particularly relevant because there is no more stark symbol of the changes which have taken place in Ireland than the fallen stature of the Catholic Church.” Irish America Magazine.

The Village
