Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a kaleidoscope of exciting Irish character portraits, largely drawn from real life in Ireland. The stories, penned by the author during the early 1800s, capture the spirit of the times and include legendary figures of the era such as 'Buckram-Back' the dancing master, Mary Murray, the 'match-maker' and Bob Pentland, the gauger outwitted by little George Steen, the illicit distiller. Rich in wit and natural charm, the tales expose the Irish talent for turning a phrase and highlight the comedy of everyday life. Some stories provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of illicit distillers and the lengths they went to in order to outwit the gauger, while others humorously examine the intricacies of courtship, marriage, and the ever-popular Irish wake. The author's sharp eye for detail and ear for dialogue show us a rich and vibrant society, filled with warmth and humanity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
