Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating and humorous book tells the story of Denis O'Shaughnessy, a young Irish peasant destined for the priesthood. Set in 19th century Ireland, the book explores the social and cultural dynamics of the time through the lens of Denis's life. It delves into the Irish tradition of training young men for the priesthood and the high esteem in which learned individuals were held.
