The intelligentsia of the title are not just academics, but outsiders, people who do not quite fit in with normal life or normal behaviour. In all her stories, the author mocks the English image of the Irish as slightly mad.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine complete dustjacket. Dubious miracles and confused morals are the stuff of the twelve fables in this entrancing book. The adorable father Boniface achieves sanctity despite a life of exalted sensuality, Sesame O'Hare, a frustrated academic, finds her true calling when she hijacks the career of the illustrious poet A.T. Harrington, Edmund Ignatius MacHugh, the guiding light of the Shambla Seekers, has a Celtic epiphany which dazzles a wealthy American lady but fails to impress the disgruntled locals. Irresistibly funny and full of ticklish ironies, the author leads the reader a merry dance through a world whose hybrid inhabitants take liberties with accepted notions of sanity, intelligence and normality.
