A collection of essays and sketches on Irish life and character by George A. Birmingham, written with wit and social observation and reflecting early twentieth-century Irish society, politics, and everyday experience. The volume is especially notable for its collaboration with Jack B. Yeats, whose illustrations were painted specifically for this book and issued as tipped-in color plates rather than printed reproductions.

Tan linen-covered boards with gilt lettering to the spine and front cover. Top edge gilt. Printed on thick paper. Illustrated with a tipped-in color frontispiece and eleven additional tipped-in color plates, each with a thin paper guard.

It is in Good condition. Shelf wear and fading to the spine, with bumped and rounded corners and a noticeable lean to it. The interior pages are generally clean, with occasional light foxing. All plates are present and clean. Good. Item #87
