By Mrs. S. C. HALL. "Tales of Irish Life" will remind the reader more of
Lever or Sam Lover than of "Lavengro." It is effervescent and audacious,
ringing with all the fun of the fair, and spiced with the constant
presence of a vivacious and irresistible personality. The sixteen
illustrations by Erskine Nicol are in precisely the same vein, matching
Mrs. Hall's sketches so manifestly that it is strange they have never
been united before. To look at them is to laugh. 330 pp. Buckram, 5/-
