It is 1938, and eighteen-year-old Sidney Chambers is dancing the quickstep with Amanda Kendall at her brother Robert’s birthday party at the Caledonian Club. No one can believe, on this golden evening, that there could ever be another war. Returning to London seven years later, Sidney has gained a Military Cross, and lost his best friend on the battlefields of Italy. The carefree youth that he and his friends were promised has been blown apart, just like the rest of the world – and Sidney, carrying a terrible, secret guilt, must decide what to do with the rest of his life.

a fine prequel and introduction to Grantchester
Revisado: 12-10-24
My spouse and I are among the many residents of N. America who only became aware of this fine series through the television adaptation. I've really enjoyed this prequel- it gives solid context and overviews of the tv characters: their influences, backgrounds, and motivations are presented and clarified with clear and compelling writing. I found myself with quite a backlog of credits, so will be grabbing the rest of the available installments. The *only* ding against perfect 5-stars is a 4 for narration, and it's admittedly for the most pedantic of reasons - while the narrator clearly deliniates characters and muchrapid narrative back-and- forth, his accent for the 'southern' Irish characters (eg those from the Republic, not the North/Ulster) were a bit 'rumpateetoo yerrah begorrah' stage-Orrish, if you get me. Yes, a pedantic complaint that few outside Ireland would notice or care about, but I'm just like that, onvs. Overall THOROUGHLY enjoyable, and essential to Grantchester tv fans, would absolutely recommend.

Filthy Henry is Dublin's first and foremost fairy detective. Something of a niche job, since most people do not know that fairies are even real. Let alone need a detective. But when troublesome fairies look to make things awkward for mortals there is one man tasked with stopping the magical meddlers. The only problem is, Filthy Henry hates everybody indiscriminately and would much rather be left alone. Each season covers one book, written by Derek Power and narrated by Niall Milton. Each episode is one complete chapter from the book the season is covering. In between seasons we also release ...

A hard-boiled detective (who is half human, half faerie) gets spun out onto some of the weirdest and most entertaining noir adventures I've ever heard. The deep well of Irish folklore mixes with present day reality, yielding an extraordinary sequence of 'wait, uh... WHAAAAAAT??' moments. Memorable characters, clever storyline, outstanding Irish narrator who actually has somewhat of a grasp of Gaeilge pronunciations- with a few really infuriating lapses. I went from merely curious and ready to be dismissive to doing a full binge of the series. Only minor (and admittedly highly pedantic) complaint is some mispronounced Irish Gaeilge words (which takes nothing at all away from the whole; if you're unfamiliar with the Gaelige language you'd never know or miss the difference). Big recommend.
