MY LITTLE FARM. By "PAT," Author of 

 " Economics for Irishmen " and the " Sorrows 

 of Ireland." 3/6 net. 



" My Little Farm " is a book about Irish, farming, by 

 an Irish farmer, who is also an established man of letters, 

 but it is not less valuable as a revelation of peasant life 

 and character, necessarily more authentic than fiction, 

 but not less intimate and not less readable. " Pat's " 

 " Economics for Irishmen " and " The Sorrows of Ireland " 

 will be guarantee for the literary workmanship, and there 

 are not many men alive who have much to teach " Pat " 

 about either farm profit or peasant psychology. In 

 addition, and incidentally, we have here the life and 

 character of the author himself, a man who varies his 

 observation between Society in the West End of London 

 and Agriculture in the West End of Ireland ; who can 

 plough, waltz, address learned societies in our leading 

 Universities, and breed dairy bulls with apparently equal 

 ease. The unique feature of " Pat's " writing always is 

 his curious capacity to make actual life, and even abstruse 

 thought, as interesting as a story, and more vital than 

 almost any story. That is what makes a book by him 

 a national event, and probably his most finished piece of 

 work so far is " My Little Farm."
