Strangers At Lisconnel: A Second Series Of Irish Idylls is a book written by Jane Barlow and published in 1895. The book is a collection of short stories set in the fictional Irish village of Lisconnel. The stories revolve around the lives of the villagers and their interactions with outsiders who come to visit. The book is a continuation of Barlow’s earlier work, Irish Idylls, and features the same themes of rural Irish life, community, and tradition. The stories are written in a lyrical and descriptive style, capturing the beauty and simplicity of Irish village life. The characters in the book are diverse and represent different aspects of Irish society, including farmers, fishermen, and priests. The stories explore themes of love, loss, and family, and offer a glimpse into the daily struggles and joys of rural Irish life. Overall, Strangers At Lisconnel: A Second Series Of Irish Idylls is a charming and evocative collection of stories that captures the essence of Irish village life in the late 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Irish literature or the history of rural Ireland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
