Handy Andy is the most enduringly popular of the novels of Samuel Lover, author, artist, and musician. The laughing philosopher of the title is Andy Rooney, a fellow who had "the most singularly ingenious knack of doing everything the wrong way." More than simply a comic novel, it has been described as "a pill to purge melancholy." There is certainly a musicality in the language, combined with the accomplished artist’s eye for composition in this wonderful and farcical tale of Irish life.
The beloved myths and legends of Ireland are told in lively vernacular in this collection of tales. Titles include "The Fairy Finder," "The Priest's Ghost," "Paddy the Piper," and "Rock and Stone Legends."
