50th Anniversary Edition. Paperback. 'In the sharply formal conversations of the stonemen, the bittersweet flavour of provincial Ireland is presented with neither sentiment nor adornment.' -William Trevor, The Guardian 'The men who have gone before us have left us a heritage to be proud of; and we feel our own contribution has been for the good.' -Seamus Murphy, from the preface to Stone Mad.
