In the rich vein of John Buchan and Rider Haggard . . .The vigorous style of Maurice Walsh again captures the exhilaration of the great out-of-doors combining a warm heart and lively imagination with a true patriot's sympathy of outlook. An ambush that went awry brought on for company to Hugh Forbes and his doughty fighters. The lives of all present that June night above Lough Aonach became strangely intertwined, among them Paddy Bawn, 'The Quiet Man', who first battled Red Will O'Danaher to win proud Ellen Roe and then helped Major MacDonald bring peace to lovely Nuala Kierley - one-time participant in a grim game of life and death for the cause . . .

Maurice Walsh was an Irish novelist best known for the short story The Quiet Man which was later made into an Oscar-winning movie directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Walsh was born in 1879 in Ballydonoghue near Listowel, Co. Kerry, Ireland. He was one of Ireland's best-selling authors in the 1930s.
