He comments that being confined to his first two books has its advantages ""depicting various aspects of Western life between mountain and seashore in the early part of this century"". He comments that he misses Rita around to help him ""Like all women-writers … she has an uncanny ear for the fall and tone of actual speech"". Also copy of ""The Gnarled and Stony Clods of Townland's Tip""."
