Once upon a time there lived in a little house under a hill a little old woman and her two children, whose names were Connla and Nora. Right in front of the door of the little house lay a pleasant meadow, and beyond the meadow rose up to the skies a mountain whose top was sharp-pointed like a spear. For more than halfway up it was clad with heather, and when the heather was in bloom it looked like a purple robe falling from the shoulders of the mountain down to its feet. Above the heather it was bare and gray, but when the sun was sinking in the sea, its last rays rested on the bare mountain top and made it gleam like a spear of gold, and so the children always called it the "Golden Spear." In summer days they gamboled in the meadow, plucking the sweet wild grasses-and often and often they clambered up the mountain side, knee deep in the heather, searching for frechans and wild honey, and sometimes they found a bird's nest-but they only peeped into it, they never touched the eggs or allowed their breath to fall upon them, for next to their little mother they loved the mountain, and next to the mountain they loved the wild birds who made the spring and summer weather musical with their songs.

Autorenporträt
Edmund Leamy was an Irish journalist, barrister, author, and nationalist politician, born in 1848 in Waterford, Ireland. He is best known for his work as a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, representing the Irish Parliamentary Party. Leamy was deeply involved in the political landscape of his time, championing Irish interests and contributing to the discourse surrounding the country's political future. Alongside his political career, he was also an author, most notably recognized for his fairy tales and stories inspired by Irish folklore. His writings reflect his profound connection to Irish culture and history. Leamy was educated at St Stanislaus College before pursuing a career in law, eventually becoming a barrister. His dedication to Irish nationalism led him to serve in Parliament from 1900 to 1904. Edmund Leamy passed away on December 10, 1904, in Pau, France, at the age of 56, leaving behind a legacy of literary and political contributions to Irish society. His works remain a testament to his passion for Ireland's heritage and its place in the broader political landscape.
