Royal octavo gray illustrated cloth hardcover red letters and decoration of a teapot to upper cover illus. endpapers 128 pp. Very Good with two former-owner signatures to half-title slight soiling to covers. From book: This is an Irish tale. Or you might say it is a tale that began in Ireland and about a lad called Brian Bou Gallagher who had ten years of much knowledge and small courage to him. It began with the brown earthenware teapot that stood on the chimney shelf in the Gallaghers’ cabin. It had been fetched from County Kerry to Donegal on the day that Brian Boru’s grandmother had married his granda and it was treasured more than anything at all in the cabin. Brian Boru had been named for a high King of Ireland in ancient times a king who had been a great hero and a mighty fighter. As for the lad himself he had no more fight in his fists than had he been a wee rabbit and like a wee rabbit he took to his heels when anything fierce like his granda’s gander took after him.
