321 pages, dark green cloth, gilt titles on the spine. Powder green endpapers with an inscription on FFEP "To Ruth for her birthday 13th November/36 with love from Alfred". contents very good, cloth a little dark and some mild handling. Small octavo. *The tale of an Irish Quixote without the brains but with the luck of the Irish, a book filled with the love of an Irish lane and driving a herd of cattle to market and all the people travelling it and the mishaps that befall a knucklehead and his companion picked up along the way "Bran". A horse is a powerful thing in a land of walkers and to a man so innocent of the world and well at peril from himself rather than others.is his lack of guile and trusting nature enough to reach his goal to Slievenamona? Does he win or lose his £100 bet with a roadside penniless jockey, his horse, love, cattle and his companion? A lost time and an Ireland we all wish were still with us I can almost taste the dram of "old milk" as I read the book.
