"The Gombeen Man", chapter 3, was published a year before the novel as a short story in The People, a London Sunday newspaper. The novel "centers on the legend of Saint Patrick defeating the King of the Snakes in Ireland." --Wikipedia

No speculative element in this novel, which is a mainstream romance. The closest it gets to it corresponds to the belief of some characters in an old Irish legend, and the description of some nightmares.

  • First U.S. edition. Issued as "Harper's Franklin Square Library New Series" #685.
