A BOOK OF BALLADS BY
REV. JAMES B. DOLLARD
(Sliav-na-mon)
With an introduction by William O’Brien, M. P.
Small quarto. $1.50
This is a book of ringing Irish ballads that will stir the heart of every lover of true poetry. “Here and there a verse may be as frankly unadorned as the peasant cabins themselves in their homely cloaks of thatch, but every line rings true to life and home and with the tone, as heartmoving as the Angelus which holds Millet’s peasants in its spell,” from Mr. O’Brien’s introduction.
“Father Dollard’s ballads have all the fire and dash of Kipling’s, with a firmer poetic grasp,” says Mr. Nathan Haskell Dole.
