Two cousins recall the Ireland of their youth in a run of sketches first written for magazines: wet picnics, a pump with a biography, a Patrick’s Day hunt, horse dealers, beggars with tragic petitions, and an ABC of fox-hunting. Their world is the big houses and small farms of west Cork, observed with affection and a sharp ear for talk.
