Excerpt from The Happy IrishI am indebted to the Editor of the Daily Chronicle, at whose suggestion I went to Ireland, for his kind permission to incorporate into this book certain chapters or parts of chapters which appeared as articles in his newspaper. This book appeared in England under the title of The Lady Next Door - for the American edition I have chosen the title The Happy Irish.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
