    About this ebook

    "The Secret Rose" by W.B. Yeats is a captivating collection of short stories that transport readers to the mystical realms of Irish folklore and mythology. Through enchanting narratives, Yeats explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the timeless struggle between the mortal and the supernatural. Each story is a tapestry of symbolism and allegory, blending the magical with the mundane. With prose that is both evocative and thought-provoking, Yeats invites readers into a world where reality and myth coalesce, revealing the hidden depths of the human experience and the secrets that lie within the heart of the rose.

    Author

    W B Yeats

    William Butler Yeats was born in 1865 in County Dublin. With his much-loved early poems such as 'The Stolen Child', and 'He Remembers Forgotten Beauty', he defined the Celtic Twilight mood of the late-Victorian period and led the Irish Literary Renaissance. Yet his style evolved constantly, and he is acknowledged as a major figure in literary modernism and twentieth-century European letters. T. S. Eliot described him as 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them'. W. B. Yeats died in 1939.

      AN ISLAND provides refuge for refugees. Their roofs, tablecloths, and bedsheets wave from the port’s breeze. Temporarily permanent, adjacent to the water, each tent kneels behind the mayor’s office and in front of a tenth-century castle. The locals p
