New edition of Myrtle Johnston's 1927 debut novel of a reluctant executioner in 1870s Ireland.
From The State (Columbia, SC), April 8, 1928:
"The author, an Irish girl of 18, unknown until her book focused attention on her, recounts a tale of horror with the ingenuousness of a nurserymaid amusing her charges with a bit of folklore. Yet behind the simple directness of the narrative is felt the pitifulness of poverty, the pathos of human misunderstanding, and above all, compassion for 'Hanging Johnny,' queer, shiftless, lovable johnny, victim of his queer, uncanny profession."
