The Crock of Gold is a comic novel written by Irish author James Stephens, first published in 1912. A mixture of philosophy, Irish folklore and the "battle of the sexes", it consists of six books, Book 1 - The Coming of Pan, Book 2 - The Philosophers Journey, Book 3 - The Two Gods, Book 4 - The Philosophers Return, Book 5 - The Policemen, Book 6 - The Thin Woman's Journey, that rotate around a philosopher and his quest to find the most beautiful woman in the world, Cáitilin Ni Murrachu, daughter of a remote mountain farm, and deliver her from the gods Pan and Aengus Óg, while himself going through a catharsis.In the center of a very dark pinewood lives the two old Philosophers and their wives, the Grey Woman of Dun Gortin and the Thin Woman of Inis Magrath. One couple has a little boy named Seumas, the other a little girl named Brigid. Both are born on the same day. When the children are ten years old, one of the old Philosophers decides that he learned all that he was capable of learning. This conclusion depresses him so much that he decides to die. It is unfortunate, as he points out, that at the time he is in the best of health; however, if the time comes for him to die, then die he must. He takes off his shoes and spins around in the center of the room for fifteen minutes until he falls over dead. So grieved is the Grey Woman that she, too, kills herself, but since she is much tougher than her husband, she spins for forty-five minutes before she dies. The Thin Woman calmly buries the two bodies under the hearthstone.The people who live on the edge of the pinewood often come to see the Thin Woman's husband when they need advice. One day, Meehawl MacMurrachu comes to the Philosopher to learn who stole his wife's scrubbing board. The Philosopher, after much questioning, finally decides that the fairies took it. He advises Meehawl to go to a certain spot and steal the Crock of Gold that the Leprechauns of Gort na Gloca Mora buried there. For years, the Leprechauns were filling their Crock of Gold by clipping the edges of gold coins that they found in people's houses at night. They need the gold to ransom any of the little people caught by human beings.Losing their gold to Meehawl makes the Leprechauns angry, and they try to make Meehawl bring it back by giving him and his wife all kinds of aches and pains. Next, they come stealthily and lure Brigid and Seumas down into a little house in the roots of a tree. However, fear of the Thin Woman is on them, and they set the children free. Then the Great God Pan, the god of the beast that is in every human, lures away Caitilin, Meehawl's daughter, with the music of his pipes. When Meehawl comes with his tale of sorrow, the Philosopher sends Brigid and Seumas to tell Pan to release the girl. Pan, however, refuses to answer their questions. When they tell the Philosopher, he becomes so angry that he orders his wife to bake him some cakes to eat on the way, and he starts off by himself to visit Pan. None of the Philosopher's arguments, however, persuade Pan to free Caitilin, and the Philosopher goes off to get the help of Angus Og of the old gods.Angus Og goes to see Pan and the girl in their cave and forces the girl to choose between them. Caitilin, who learns the true meaning of hunger and desire with Pan, does not know how to choose. Angus Og explains to her that he is Divine Inspiration, and that if she will come and live with him and be his wife, he will show her peace and happiness. He proves by several signs that he is the favorite of the gods of the earth and has more power than Pan. Caitilin senses that true happiness will be found with Angus Og and that only hunger will be found with Pan; she chooses to leave Pan and go with Angus Og and is saved from the beast in humanity.The Philosopher, on his way back home, delivers several messages from the god. He gives one message to a young boy, a promise from Angus Og that in time the old gods will return...

THIS CLASSIC WORK IS REFORMATTED AND CAREFULLY REPRODUCED. Because of the enlarged size, each letter takes about four times (4x) the surface a font character takes in a normal print book. It was not reproduced in a hurry from an old photocopy. Some reviews that may appear on Amazon reflect other editions of this book. To avoid buying a poor quality classic, always inspect its sample pages once they are available on Amazon.com. In case they do not appear initially, wait for a up to three days and they will. If they are still unavailable, consider buying a different book that offers a preview.Another sign to look for is "full justification" of lines: all the lines in a paragraph must have the same length, except for the last one, like the text columns in a newspaper. If they have a "rugged" look, the printing is bellow par. However, some people prefer the rugged look. Just make sure you know what you are buying. Finally, words at the end of sentences are rarely hyphened in this version. It is nearly hyphenation free.Get this book and you get God Pan, a leprechaun, his gold, more Celtic Gods, fairies, the police and a philosopher that starts a crisis. It does not make sense but it works. James Stephens's out of this world classic story remains ageless and excites readers to this day.The book is printed with an extra large font and special spacing to make it easy to read.With humor and intelligence, Irish author James Stephens (1882-1950) retold folk stories and created new myths on old traditions. He is considered a member of the "Celtic Revival" movement. Stephens stood at four feet and ten inches height but he was very athletic and to this day, his spirit soars with the legends he bequeathed us.

Excerpt from The Crock of Gold The Grey Woman and the Thin Woman were so incensed at being answered that they married the two Philosophers in order to be able to pinch them in bed, but the skins of the Philosophers were so thick that they did not know they were being pinched. They repaid' the fury of the women with such tender affection that these vicious creatures almost expired of chagrin, and once, in a very ecstasy of exasperation, after having been kissed by their husbands, they uttered the fourteen hundred maledic tions which comprised their wisdom, and these were learned by the Philosophers who thus became even wiser than before. In due process of time two children were born of these marriages. They were born on the same day and in the same hour, and' they were only different in this, that one of them was a boy and the other one was a girl. Nobody was able to tell how this had happened and, for the first time in their lives, the Philosophers were forced to ad mire an event which they had been unable to prognosticate; but having proved by many different methods that the children were really children, that what must be must be, that a fact cannot be controverted.
