The Demi-Gods Warren Bluhm

Roger Mifflin, proprietor of The Haunted Bookshop, said it best: "If you need 'all manner of Irish, ' and a relapse into irresponsible freakishness, try 'The Demi-Gods, ' by James Stephens. It is a better book than one deserves or expects. It's a good thing to turn your mind upside down now and then, like an hour-glass, to let the particles run the other way."




Three angels come to Earth to learn more about people. They land in the Irish countryside and encounter a nomadic man and his feisty daughter, and what happens next is what happens next. The latest volume in The Roger Mifflin Collection, classics of the early 20th century as curated by Mifflin himself in The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley.
