_Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.25_
The initial piece in this volume is a deliciously conceived heroic
farce, quaint in humor and sprightly in action. It tells of the
difficulty in which two simple Irish folk find themselves when they
enter into an agreement with an apparition of the sea, who demands
that they knock off his head and who maintains that after they have
done that he will knock off theirs. There is a real meaning in the
play which it will not take the thoughtful reader long to discover.
Besides this there are a number of shorter poems, notably one in
which Mr. Yeats answers the critics of "The Playboy of the Western
World."
