The World's Classics #532. Rendered from the original Irish by Moya Llewelyn Davies and George Thomson with an introductory note by E.M. Forster. O'Sullivan was born and reared on a remote island off the Atlantic coast of Ireland, and in [this work] he tells the story of his childhood" with a "remarkably sense of style derived from folk-tales which he heard at the fireside from his grandfather and sharpened by his own lively imagination." Some chipping on dust jacket spine ends and at outer corners, some spotting on back cover. Dark blue boards with gilt text on spine and blind-stamping on cover. Maps are printed inside on pastedowns and endpages.
