Imagine a man living in Ireland of the 1800s, who desperately wants to be sane and to socialize with his neighbors, but is restricted from fulfilling those desires by his propensity to see, hear and to converse with leprechauns. Imagine that the same man is a talented, albeit, reclusive poet, who seeks to improve the plight of his starving countrymen, through the power of his pen, but has not of yet lent his talents to political advocacy. Rather than speak in public, even to offer a reading of his poetry, the man remains aloof, hiding the source of his hallucinations. The man is Ian, the personification of the Lonesome Man on a Hermit's Hill.Read his story, and witness the roles played in it by Neil, Ian's underground revolutionary neighbor, Marion, Neil's sister, Devlin the leprechaun, Brianna, Neil's lover, and General Briggs, who leads the occupying British army. Their fate of these characters intermingle in this exciting, lyrical and romantic story about hunger, starvation, imperialism, courage and the power of love to overcome all odds, all presented in verse by Edward Kenny. Read and discover the destiny of the Lonesome Man on a Hermit's Hill.
