Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Irish Literature, Vol. 9: McCarthy, Editor in Chief, Charles Welsh, Managing
Such a society had no attractions for a youth of gentle instincts whose tastes ran towards painting, poetry, music, and story-telling. Young Lover was a delicate child physically, and his parents wisely sent him, in his twelfth year, to spend a long vacation at a farmhouse in the Wicklow Mountains. There, in the health-giving free air, he made the acquaint ance of the best two friends that he could have found, Nature in all her moods, and Man in his best estate, that of the simple, honest tiller of the soil. He loved them both forever after, and well was his love returned.
