The stories incorporate themes that intrigued her throughout her life; themes out of the myths and legends of Ireland; ghostly interventions, dreams and premonitions, clairvoyance, and the Otherworld in parallel with this one. It is so easy to dismiss them, as some have, merely as part of the narrative of \"Irish nationalism\" of the time, but it is the supernatural elements that make them much more. She would revisit these themes in later works such as her classic haunted house novel \u003cem\u003eThe Uninvited\u003c\/em\u003e (1941). To this new edition of Macardle's debut collection, reprinted for the first time in ninety years, we have added four more tales of the supernatural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 166\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47413253570738,"sku":"9781783807383","price":27.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/ed9275b197a3b10cba54d4bf963a33d7.webp?v=1778345023","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/earth-bound-and-other-supernatural-tales-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
