“A love tale of a tender, but frivolous and petulant Irish girl, who flirts and arouses her lover’s jealousy, and who offends against the conventions in all innocence. A gay and witty story spiced with slang, and touched with pathos.”—(_Baker_). ⸺ A LITTLE IRISH GIRL; and other Stories. (LONDON: _Whitefriars Libr._). 1891. ⸺ THE O’CONNORS OF BALLYNAHINCH. Pp. 261. (_Heinemann_). 1_s._ 6_d._ 1896. A domestic story of love and marriage in the Author’s lightest vein. The characters belong chiefly to the landlord class, a local carman being the only peasant introduced. There is no expression of political views. The scene is laid in Cork. ⸺ NORA CREINA. Pp. 328. (_Chatto & Windus_). 1903. A love-story from start to finish, without pretence of the study of character. The story of how Norah is won from dislike to love is pleasantly told. No politics. Peasants hardly mentioned. Scene not specified. =HUNT, B.= ⸺ FOLK TALES OF BREFFNY. Pp. viii. + 197. (_Macmillan_). 3_s._ 6_d._ 1913. Breffny, _i.e._, Cavan and Leitrim. Many of these stories—there are twenty-six of them, all very short—“were told by an old man, who said he had more and better learning nor the scholars,” and are a curious mixture of literary language, and a very peculiar and picturesque peasant dialect. They are somewhat off the ordinary lines of folk-lore stories, and are told in a quaint drily-humorous vein. =HYDE, Dr. Douglas, LL.D., D.Litt.; “An Craobhin Aoibhinn.”= Son of late Rev. Arthur Hyde, Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon. Ed. T.C.D. Has been President of the Gaelic League since its foundation in 1893. Is Professor of Modern Irish in the National University of Ireland. ⸺ BESIDE THE FIRE. Gaelic Folk-stories. Collected, ed. (Irish text facing English), and trans. by D. H. With Introd., Notes on Irish text, and Notes on tales, by Ed. and Alfred Nutt. Pp. lviii. + 204. (_Nutt_). 7_s._ 6_d._ 1891. Extremely interesting and valuable Preface (50 pages) by the Author, in which he reviews what had been hitherto done for Irish folk-lore, remarks on the genesis of the folk-tale, its affinities with the Scotch folk-tale, and tells us where and from whom and in what circumstances he got his stories, ending by some explanations of the style of his translations. The preface is followed by some critical remarks on it by Alfred Nutt. The English of the translations is that of the peasants. This is the first really scientific treatment of Irish folk-lore. ⸺ THE ADVENTURES OF THE LAD OF THE FERULE. ⸺ THE ADVENTURES OF THE CHILDREN OF THE KING OF NORWAY. (_Irish Texts Society_). 1899.
