Rh Rh In this book the celebrated Irish author gives us his reminiscences of his childhood and youth. The memories are written, as is to be expected, in charming prose. They have the appeal invariably attached to the account of a sensitive childhood.

Rh "The Hour Glass" is one of Mr. Yeats' noble and effective plays, and with the other plays in the volume, make a small, but none the less representative collection.

Rh These tales belong to the realm of pure lyrical expression. They are mysterious and shadowy, full of infinite subtleties and old wisdom of folklore, and sad with the gray wistful Celtic sadness.

"Lovers of Mr. Yeats's suggestive and delicate writing will find him at his best in this volume."&mdash;Springfield Republican.

Rh Essays on art and life, wherein are set forth much of Yeats' philosophy, his love of beauty, his hope for Ireland and for Irish artistic achievement.

Rh A collection of tales from Irish life and of Irish fancy, retold from peasants' stories with no additions except an occasional comment.
