This fourth book in the series, portrays a closely-knit group of
people living in the north Tipperary hills during the early 20th
century - a community largely made up of small farmers, whose lives
were far different from today. The book's inspiration comes from
writers such as Thomas Hardy and attempts to pass on to readers the
lyrical and rich phrasings of Tipperary's old hill folk and capture
the spiritual wealth of an age that remained unchanged for several
centuries. Tales of . . . * brotherly love and hate. * a rogue's
return from across the sea and his efforts to reform. * an
unexpected first-love at the harvest-time dance-in-the-fields. *
persecution of two old saints at the hands of misguided youth. *
sports-day activities for adults and children alike, following the
arduous channelling of a new stream. * two adventurous toddlers,
getting lost in the wilderness but saved by a witch. '. . . lovers
of literature will find themselves engrossed in the lives of a past
hillside community.' Addison & Cole
