A Vivid, Simple and Picturesque Narrative
As written by Earnán de Siúnta ‘An Buachaillín Buidhe’ in An Claidheamh Solais, December 1911: “That telling is done in simple, flowing, eloguent, modern Irish, and while it keeps a little to the style of the seanchaidhe, it is neither florid nor verbose, but a vivid, simple and picturesque narrative throughout.”
