In the 1920s, at the age of fourteen, Seamus Murphy began his seven-year apprenticeship as a stonecarver. Stone Mad tells the story of these years of learning the ancient craft of the mason, of the challenges and joys of stone, and of the men who worked it: "Our craft is one of the oldest in the world. Our handiwork is seen everywhere, in town, country, and village. The men who have gone before us have left us a heritage to be proud of; and we feel our own contribution has been for the good." This is a beautiful book, full of warmth, humor, and perception. Murphy was Professor of Sculpture of the Royal Hibernian Academy. His work, which is in Ireland, England, and America, included allegorical figures and madonnas, headstones, memorials, and portrait busts.
