Miss Purdon here tells the story of one of the little street urchins who swarm and play on the steps of the tenements in the faded Georgian thoroughfares of Dublin.

These half-dozen tales of Ireland, ancient and modern, are in that peculiar vein of historic realism which set the author’s “Children of the Hills” apart from the average book of Irish short stories. The Syngesque vigour and raciness of Mr. O’Byrne’s idiom gives a quality to his writings which is absent from that of his contemporaries.
