Set in rural Ireland in the 19th-century, this is the true story of a family that lived on a farm by Lough Gur in County Limerick, a world in itself. The master with his men, the mistress with her maids, all worked in happy unity. The four little girls, growing up in this contented atmosphere, dreamed of saints and fairies. Their real and their dream world fused into an idyllic background for growing, learning and loving.

<p>This memoir captures the lost world of the strong-farm family in post-famine Munster, Ireland. Through Mary O'Brien's memories, which she recounted to Mary Carbery, this book tells the story of middle class Catholics in Ireland, who confidently expected to be the inheritors of the earth in a Home-Rule Ireland. Their world has rarely been evoked so sensitively as in this beguiling and most engaging narrative.</p>
