A financial wizard in the city of London has just completed a billion pound deal. For rest and relaxation he travels to Ireland on a long promised fishing trip. On the riverbank, he encounters a little man wearing a cap who appears to have magical powers to such an extent that the Londoner perceives the little man to be a leprechaun but he is not! Before he returns to London he embarks on a singular plan to extract the little man's secret by plying him with whiskey and Guinness thereby revealing a bizarre tale of specimen brown trout and green silk knickers!
Irish author Dermot Coburn's medium of choice is the short story. His stories revolve around a rich tapestry of timeless characters and their adventures in modern Ireland. Coburn lives with his family in Ravensdale, an idyllic village nestling along the southern slopes of Clermont Mountain in County Louth where he is a well known entrepreneur and businessman.
Excellent light read that frees the mind from modern fact and rush.
If you want to escape for a little while and wash your mind with simple warm images of irland, country life, fishing, old school pubs with a little piece of mystique thrown in then download this story and loose yourself for a while..excellent read

Reading Greenwell's Glory is like going on a short fishing holiday in beautiful Ireland where the words bring the lushness of the scenery, the quaintness of the Irish pub and the mischief, the wit, and the irresistibility of the local characters to life in vivid color - and that's not all. It's all presented in a highly engaging short story with a marvellous twist in the tale.
