A noted playright, poet and editor, Colum has been termed "a sensitive, brooding Celtic with a unique gift for fantasy and friendship." His recent works include an anthology of Irish verse and a treasury of Irish folklore."This book presents sketches written by Colum as he travels the backways of Ireland in the 1920s.
