Short Stories from the author of Billy's Day and Aroma . The author amazingly has kept years of his rejected work to bring you this compilation which tongue in cheek is named "Rejection by Post" after the tiny slips of paper that publishers sent out to you on rejection of your work.
James Connolly (Irish: Séamas Ó Conghaile) was an Irish socialist leader. He was born in the Cowgate area of Edinburgh, Scotland, to Irish immigrant parents. He left school for working life at the age of 11, but became one of the leading Marxist theorists of his day. Though proud of his Irish background, he also took a role in Scottish and American politics. He was executed by a British firing squad because of his leadership role in the Easter Rising of 1916.
