Alice Taylor lives in the village of Innishannon in County Cork, in
a house attached to the local supermarket and post office. Her
first book, To School Through the Fields, was published in 1988. It
was an immediate success and quickly became the biggest selling
book ever published in Ireland.
Alice has written nearly twenty books since then, largely exploring
her beloved village and the ways of life in rural Ireland. She has
also written poetry and fiction: her first novel, The Woman of
the House, was an immediate bestseller. Most recently, she wrote a
children's picture book with her daughter Lena Angland, called
Ellie and the Fairy Door.

characters
