William Carleton

Amusing Irish Tales

Paperback (Forgotten Books Feb. 12, 2019)
Excerpt from Amusing Irish TalesUltimately, while still resident in Dublin, he became acquainted with the Rev. Caesar Otway. At this gentle man's suggestion young Carleton wrote a tale for one of the magazines, which attracted general notice. This formed the second turning point in the young man's life, and showed to himself and friends where his forte lay. From this period a long stream of writings came from the talented author's pen, both through separate volumes and through the magazine press. In all, the volumes he became author of amounted to over forty in number. Many of his novels and tales exhibit singular power and talent, and have universally been acknowledged as giving true and faithful representations of the social life of his countrymen. William Carleton died in 1869 at the age of seventy-one.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
