“A good book of amusing Irish stories ought to be welcomed by those who sympathise with Celtic idea’s. In Chimney Corners is a collection of charming Irish folk-tales by Seumas MacManus. The author professes to unveil the secrets of “the Country Beyond.” He does it delightfully. “The Apprentice Thief” is a most absorbing story. The Illustrations are very attractive.”
