ⓘ About Alice Taylor

Alice Taylor is an Irish author best known for her novels which explore life in rural settings. A longtime resident of Innishannon where she raised her four sons and daughter, and also run a guesthouse, Alice’s publishing journey began when she became the editor of her local magazine. That was in 1984. As the years went by, the author experimented with poetry and even went so far as to publish her own collection in the late 1980s; though, it wasn’t until she wrote ‘To School Through the Fields’ that her star began to shine. Alice was older by then, way past the age that most authors normally make their literary debut. However, that did not stop her from garnering a strong following of both local and international fans many of whom appreciated the rustic settings of her stories.
