THE HOUSE OF QUIET.
12th Impression. 5 s. net, also Is. net.
“These sketches are done'with a delicate sympathy, with observation, and with
an amused quiet humour which has great charm. . . . They are attractive, sweet, and

THE THREAD OF GOLD.
Sth Impression. 5s. net, also Is. net.
" The author of ‘The House of Quiet’ has now given us a delightful successor.

Works by Lady Gregory.
A BOOK OF SAINTS AND WONDERS:
ACCORDING TO THE OLD WRITINGS AND THE MEMORY OF
the people of Ireland. Crown 8vo. 5s. net.
“ The work imparts a fresh literary charm to the fine old tales about Saint Brigh,
about Columcille, about St. Patrick, about the voyagers Maeldune and Brendan, and
about many old legendary wonder-workers and uncanny adventurers. For an Irish
youngster, or indeed for any one interested, to have the old Irish tales simply,
faithfully, and sympathetically told, it would be hard indeed to find a better book.”
—Scotsman.
POETS AND DREAMERS.
STUDIES AND TRANSLATION FROM THE IRISH. Crown 8VO. 6s.
“ Lady Gregory has written the most charming book that has come out of Ireland
for many a long day. It consists of original sketches and of translations from the
Irish, and from beginning to end the atmosphere, which is delightful, is the same. . . .
It has charm, and there is everywhere a felicity of simple phrase that is infinitely
refreshing. . . . We are grateful to Lady Gregory for some hours that could not have
been more pleasant if they had been spent in the country in actual converse with
poets and dreamers.”-—Morning Post.
GODS AND FIGHTING MEN.
THE STORY OF THE TUATHA DE DANAAN AND OF THE
FIANNA OF IRELAND.
Arranged and put into English. With a Preface by W. B. YEATS.
Large Crown 8vo. 6s. net.
“ Lady Gregory has added another leaf to the crown of laurel she is winning by
her studies in ancient Gaelic folk-lore and legend. Her ‘ Gods and Fighting Men,’
is as naively delightful, as mentally refreshing and invigorating as, her previous
books. . . . She is at heart a poet, and the limitless wealth of imagination of
the Irish mind, its quaintness and simplicity, its gravity and peculiar humour, have
passed into her possession and inspired her pen to fine issues.”—Yorkshire Post
CUCHULAIN OF MUIRTHEMNE.
THE STORY OF THE MEN OF THE RED BRANCH OF ULSTER.
With a Preface by W. B. YEATS.
Second Edition. Large Crown 8vo. 6s. net.
“ Lady Gregory’s altogether charming 1 Cuchulain of Muirthemne.’ ”
“ In my judgment it would be hard to overpraise it.” , Mall ^azeile-
