The wild Irish girl : a national tale

Reflecting the typical English prejudices about the Irish during this period, an English father decides to punish his unruly son by sending him to live on the family's Irish estate. Once there, the young man hides his identity to avoid being hated by the locals. But as he gets to know them, he learns about Gaelic history and culture, and even falls in love. The author has included her own footnotes to enrich the reader's appreciation of the story and of the Irish people.
