Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Creel of Irish Stories The little valley of Letterglas is a very green and very lonesome place almost always, for snow seldom lies on it, and the few people who come into it depart again even sooner and as tracelessly, so that its much grass spreads from month to month uncovered and untrodden. It runs westward - that is, towards the ocean - but never reaches the shore, because a great grassy curtain intervenes, curved round the end of it, and prolonged in the lower hill-ranges that bound it to north and south. They are just swarded embankments of most simple construction, with scarcely a fold to complicate the sweep of their smooth green slopes, and the outline of their ridge against the sky undulates as softly as young corn in a drowsy breeze. Only at one point - about midway on the right hand looking westward - it is suddenly broken by a sharp dip down and up again, making a gap like an inverted Gothic arch. And this is called by everybody the Nick of Time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
