Made to Order at Juniper Custom in Boulder, Colorado

For a small island, Ireland has given the world an extraordinary share of its literature. Our curator is often asked for collections of writers from a particular corner of the world, and Ireland is among the most requested. This set gathers five of its great voices, from the wit of Oscar Wilde to the daring of James Joyce, in custom jackets that evoke the country's profound literary heritage. It is a set for the reader with Irish roots, the traveler who fell in love with Dublin, and anyone who delights in a well-told tale.
