Waysiders

Ten stories which give sympathetic glimpses of the gray lives of the peasants of Connaught. They are varied in content from the deep laid scheme which robs the store of Festus Clasby, the perfectly wrought human casket, to the weird sketches of the Herd who has the blood of the white goat upon him, or the death bed of Kevin Hooban, the friend of the Good People. Stories of character rather than plot.
