=KELLY, Eleanor F.= Resides in Dublin. She is a constant contributor to
Catholic periodicals here and in the States.
⸺ BLIND MAUREEN; and other Stories. Pp. 160. (_Washbourne_). 2_s._ _n.d._
(1913).
Ten short stories reprinted from THE CATHOLIC FIRESIDE, and
other Catholic magazines. High moral tone, characterisation
good, dialogue (often in dialect) natural. St. Antony plays a
prominent part. “The Fate of the Priest Hunter” is a tale of
18th century persecution in Ireland.
⸺ OUR LADY INTERCEDES. Pp. 210. (_Washbourne_). 2_s._ 6_d._ 1913.
Twelve stories, several of which are Irish, devoted to showing
the care of the Blessed Virgin for those who invoke her. One
relates to Cromwellian times, but for the most part the stories
relate to the present time.
⸺ THE THREE REQUESTS; and other Stories. Pp. 192. (_Duffy_). 3_s._ 6_d._
1914.
Twelve little stories, Irish in subject. The interest of the
story is always quite subordinate to the religious and moral
interest. The tales deal with answers to prayer (two of them
are about prayers to St. Antony), the evils of emigration,
and of proselytism, the reward of charity, &c., one is a
ghost-story. They are told with great simplicity.
=KELLY, Peter Burrowes.= 1811-1883. B. Stradbally, Queen’s Co. Took an
active part in politics, and was a noted speaker. Died in Dublin.
⸺ THE MANOR OF GLENMORE; or, The Irish Peasant. Three Vols. (LONDON: _Ed.
Bull_). 1839.
Scene: Stradbally, in the Queen’s County. Most of the
personages of the tale and many of its incidents are real.
The country is very well described; the book has many
interesting incidents; peasant life is pictured with knowledge
and sympathy. The last year of the agitation for Catholic
Emancipation is the period dealt with. The famous Clare
election is described, and there is a character sketch of
Dr. Doyle (“J.K.L.”). It criticised strongly the Protestant
ascendancy and landlord party, dwells upon the doings of
Orangemen and of Whiteboys, and the attempts to reconcile the
two factions.
=KELLY, William Patrick.= B. 1848. Son of John Kelly, of Mount Brandon,
Graigue, Co. Kilkenny. Ed. Clongowes Wood College and R.M.A. Woolwich.
Late R. Artillery. Lives in Harrogate. Has written seven or eight other
stories, chiefly semi-historical adventure stories.
⸺ SCHOOLBOYS THREE. Pp. 320. (_Routledge_). 3_s._ 6_d._ Eight illustr.
(good). [1895]. Several new eds.
A story of school-boy life at Clongowes Wood College in the
early ’sixties, told in a pleasant and picturesque style, and,
almost all through, with frank fidelity to reality. It is full
of lively incident. Was highly praised by the leading literary
reviews.
=[KEMBLE, Ann]; “Ann of Swansea.”=
⸺ GERALD FITZGERALD; an Irish Tale. Five Vols (!). (LONDON: _Newman_).
1831.
