In the 1930s, Irish novelist Maurice Walsh placed the moors and mountains of Ireland firmly on the literary map with this celebrated collection of stories under the title Green Rushes, here re-titled The Quiet Man and Other Stories. Since then, readers have continued to be charmed by these accounts of his characters in 1920s rural Ireland as the themes of nationalism, human dignity, honour, and love are given full play. Made famous by John Ford's Oscar-winning film The Quiet Man, starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, these remain humorous and poignant tales set against a backdrop of politics, intrigue, and Irish civil war and unrest.
