Paperback. "Bog/Paperback 112 lch. Daoine a raibh aithne acu ar Shean-Phádraic a roghnaíodh chun clocha a chur ar a charn, Liam Ó Buachalla, mar shampla, Leon Ó Broin, P. S. Ó hÉigeartaigh, Críostóir Mac Aonghusa agus scata eile. Did Ó Conaire walk all the way to Russia? In an attempt to dispel certain myths – while, possibly, creating new ones on the way – these lively reminiscences are from people who actually knew the man, the likes of Liam O’ Flaherty, Austin Clarke, Séamus Ó Grianna, F.R. Higgins and Micheál Mac Liammóir: ‘Thabharfá faoi deara é ag argóinteacht le strainséir cairdiúil agus d’aithneofá ar leagan na súl aige go raibh sé á ghrinniú leis an intinn ghéar sin is dual don Chonamaraíoch . . .’"
