This inscribed and autographed copy of “A Shield of Clover” by Peggy (Simson) Curry is a rare find for collectors of mid-20th century Irish literature.

Curry’s vivid prose and rich character development earned her comparisons to esteemed contemporaries like Liam O’Flaherty and Frank O’Connor. While little-known today, her work captures the resilience of the Irish spirit in the face of economic hardship and social upheaval. This copy’s acceptable condition, with a worn dust jacket but clean interior, reflects its status as a well-loved and cherished read. For fans of Irish fiction and those interested in the country’s literary heritage, this signed edition represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of a often-overlooked chapter in Ireland’s cultural history.
