Excerpt from Carrigmore or Light and Shade, in West KerryThe golden sun was just setting behind Tower Hill. Its glorious radiance tinted the hills and fields and clustering hamlets of St. Brendan's valley with rich hues of crimson and purple. The mackerel fishers were busy at the little landing place called Duneen, launching their trim canoes, putting their oars and nets to rights, jesting iwith the young colleens who have come to see that their fathers and brothers would be duly provided with food while searching for the scaly treasures out there in the ocean during the long watches of the night.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
