Synopsis
Bryan MacMahon is one of Ireland's finest writers. A Kerryman, he is also one of its most famous teachers. The world has beaten a path to Listowel to look at, and listen to, The Master.
This book is an eloquent and colourful chronicle of a rich and happy life: it is the story of a man who loves literature and his fellow man and who has ever been a fighter for both.
From the day when he took up a teaching post in his native Listowel he has shown himself as a dedicated and enlightened teacher, a short-story writer of international stature, and a public speaker of the rarest verve and vitality.
He is also a man in love with language, not only English which he uses so magically, but also with Irish and indeed Shelta, the secret language of the travelling people, a knowledge which he uses to such effect in his play and novel The Honey Spike.
In a telling phrase, Bryan MacMahon quotes the saying that "a teacher leaves the track of his teeth on a parish for three generations." There is no doubt that his work has been for the good not merely of his native area, but also of his pupils, his fellow teachers and readers everywhere.
He is a rare national asset: this wise, witty and frank book will provide him with "a monument more lasting than bronze."

Hardback. Condition: Good. Are prayers really answered? They are if you are 97 year old Kathleen Dolan O'Hara, one of the last living survivors of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Her prayer is for validation of something she has been told her entire life, her father's heroic actions in getting her to a lifeboat, giving up his life to save hers. Elmo, the Patron Saint of sailors, hears her prayer and is so moved by it he approves it to be granted. Enlisting the help of two angels, Kathleen's wish is granted and a miracle is performed. There is only one catch. Although the angels could easily alter the course of history, any attempts on their part to do so will result in the immediate cancellation of the miracle. When Touched by an Angel meets A Night to Remember, Kathleen's wish becomes a two hour and forty minute adventure Saint Elmo and the angels will never forget. Scott Munson lives in Bellport, New York with his wife Patricia. They are the parents of two grown children, Gregory and Sharon. He is a freelance cartoonist and author of short stories. A Gift From Saint Elmo is his first novel. In addition to writing, he also enjoys illustrating, oil painting, and carving decorative duck decoys. Scott wishes to dedicate A Gift From Saint Elmo to his angels, Patty, Greg and Sharon. Seller Inventory # 00066262390
