LOVABLE IRELAND
"Knockmaroon," by W. M. Letts, (John Murray) is a bran-pie of a book. You put in your thumb and you may pull out a Victorian grand-aunt who sang hymns for the Emperor Maximilian, or a little girl called Eileen the Bold, or an old woman iv a mountainy cottage, or a talkative cook iv a Dublin kitchen. The author takes you with her from place to place in the Ireland she loves. Miss Letts writes of that happy, friendly Ireland which exists and will exist in spite of politicians and newspapers, that "Christianable Ireland," beloved and real to so many. Knockmarooii, the name of an old house by the Liff cy, is used in a symbolic sense to describe what is kindest in life. Between the chapters are versea about Irish life and places.
