To increase the visibility of and accessibility to his work, a group of friends of John Moriarty will be releasing a CD collection of stories narrated by him. Since the establishment of his website (www.johnmoriarty.net), there has been huge online interest in his publications.

A beautifully designed limited-edition box set of 13 CDs.

JOHN MORIARTY, writer and philosopher, was born in Kerry in 1938 and educated at Listowel and University College Dublin. He taught English literature at Manitoba University in Canada for six years, before returning to Ireland in 1971. Sometime gardener, lecturer and broadcaster, in 1997 he hosted a major RTE television series, 'The Blackbird and the Bell'. His books include Dreamtime (1994), and the first two volumes of Turtle Was Gone a Long Time: Crossing the Kedron (1996) and Horsehead Nebula Neighing (1997). He lived his final years down from the Horse's Glen at the foot of Mangerton Mountain in north Kerry.

Johns long-term plan has always been to establish what he calls a Christian Monastic hedge school near Kilgarvan in County Kerry. He has titled this project Sli na Firinne and, to assist in the start-up and running costs of the project, he has established the Sli na Firinne Foundation. All proceeds from the sale of the CDs (over and above production and sales costs) will be donated to the foundation.
