"Twenty tales (memories of the old days, says the author), picturing many phases of peasant life on the West coast ... Told with sympathy in simple, but literary style. Dialogue clever and full of bright snatches of Celtic humour." - Brown, Ireland in Fiction 1106. Several of the stories are supernatural and are rather nicely told. "'The Other Country'" offers a fresh (and bitter) take on the tale of a revenant. Bleiler (1978), p. 135. Not in Reginald (1979; 1992). A fine copy. (#167345).
