Six tales show nineteenth-century Ireland at its most comic and most uncanny. Samuel Lover’s shipwrecked Irishman tries to borrow a gridiron from the French in The Gridiron; William Carleton tells of the tailor Neal Malone; John Banim, Jane Barlow and George H. Jessop add stories of dreamers, recruits and land-war bailiffs, and an anonymous hand contributes The Banshee.
