Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of an Irishman
My earliest memories of life are associated with river and sea and low-lying hills, with meadows and gardens and distant views of bolder heights crowned with some ancient ruin. The river and the sea gave me my playground, and I have never even in my most recent days caught sight of a ruined castle or abbey without finding my mind carried back to those scenes of boyhood and of youth which made the picturesque surroundings of my birthplace. That birthplace was in the near neighbourhood of the city of Cork, in the south of Ireland, and the whole surrounding region was rich in delightful scenery, whether the gazer looked upon land or water or took in both together with the same glance.
