We are used to having depicted with painful realism all our faults, all the defects of Irish life on the material side. This little book denies none of these, but it shows another side of the Irish character, the deep-rooted, intense Catholic faith, the union with the supernatural, that brightens even the most squalid lives. The anecdotes, which are true, are related with delicate insight by one who knows and loves the people. There is a vivid sketch of a Lough Derg pilgrimage. ⸺ OLD-TIME STORIES OF ERIN. Pp. 215. (_Browne & Nolan_). 2_s._ Illustr. by C. A. Mills. 1908. Sixteen old Gaelic hero legends retold in simple, lucid style for children.

(_Sands_). 7_d._ Coloured frontisp. (N.Y.: _Benziger_). 0.50. Second edition. 1911. Six little tales, slight in theme, but delicately wrought. They are the poetry of real life, mostly Irish peasant life. A moral may be gleaned from each, but there is no irritating insistence on it. One tells how, through his love for birds and his fear of frightening them, a good old P.P. loses his chance of a canonry. Another tells of the beautiful neighbourly charity of the Irish peasant. Four are love stories. They are perfect of their kind. ⸺ SOME IRISH STORIES. Pp. 96. (_C.T.S._). 6_d._ Stiff wrapper. 1912.

Better class Catholic family life somewhere in the West—O’Malleys, Dillons, Burkes. Two interwoven love-stories, a mystery of identity, and the story of a philanthropic enterprise, the Drinagh Mills. Thoroughly Catholic atmosphere and moral purpose. ⸺ DOWN WEST, and Other Sketches of Irish Life. Pp. 119. (ROEHAMPTON: _The Catholic Library_). 1_s._ Preface by Sir H. Bellingham. 1914. Glimpses of real life in Connemara and Aran (described p. 48 _sq._), dealing less with outward incidents than with the beauty of the people’s faith, the hardness of their lot, the joys and sorrows of their lives. Told with a very delicate suggestiveness, full of touches of humour and of feeling, without preaching or moralising, by one in thorough sympathy with the people, and alive, too, to all the influences of nature. The dialect is reproduced with great fidelity. =DEASE, Charlotte.= ⸺ CHILDREN OF THE GAEL. Pp. 196. (_Washbourne_). 2_s._ 6_d._ (N.Y.: _Benziger_). 0.75. 1911.
