According to the Old Writings and the Memory of the People of Ireland.

Crown 8vo. 5s. net

"The work imparts a fresh literary charm to the fine old tales about Saint Brigit, about Columcille, about St. Patrick, about the voyagers Maeldune and Brendan, and about many old legendary wonder-workers and uncanny adventurers. For an Irish youngster, or indeed for any one interested, to have the old Irish tales simply, faithfully, and sympathetically told, it would be hard indeed to find a better book."—Scotsman.

POETS AND DREAMERS

Studies and Translation from the Irish.

Crown 8vo. 6s.

"Lady Gregory has written the most charming book that has come out of Ireland for many a long day. It consists of original sketches and of translations from the Irish, and from beginning to end the atmosphere, which is delightful, is the same.... It has charm, and there is everywhere a felicity of simple phrase that is infinitely refreshing.... We are grateful to Lady Gregory for some hours that could not have been more pleasant if they had been spent in the country in actual converse with poets and dreamers."—Morning Post.

GODS AND FIGHTING MEN

The Story of the Tuatha de Danaan and of the Fianna of Ireland

Arranged and put into English. With a Preface by W. B. Yeats

"Lady Gregory has added another leaf to the crown of laurel she is winning by her studies in ancient Gaelic folk-lore and legend. Her 'Gods and Fighting Men' is as naïvely delightful, as mentally refreshing and invigorating as her previous books.... She is at heart a poet, and the limitless wealth of imagination of the Irish mind, its quaintness and simplicity, its gravity and peculiar humour, have passed into her possession and inspired her pen to fine issues."—Yorkshire Post.

"Lady Gregory's altogether charming 'Cuchulain of Muirthemne.'"—Pall Mall Gazette.
