About the author

Irish playwright Lady Isabella Augusta Persse Gregory wrote a number of short plays, including Spreading the News (1904) for the Abbey theater, which she founded and directed from 1904 to 1928.

This Irish dramatist and folklorist with William Butler Yeats and other persons co-founded the Irish literary theatre and wrote numerous short works for both companies. Lady Gregory produced a number of books retelling stories taken from Irish mythology.

Did not read all of it, just the sections I was assigned for class

[Padraic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Without Augusta's firm hand, W.B. would have dissolved into a puddle of Celtic mush. Not surprisingly, she was the better writer when it came to myth and mystery.
