...P. A. Doyle Sean O Faolain as a Novelist P. A. Doyle Sean O Faolain has written three novels of the Irish scene: A Nest of Simple Folk (1934), Bird Alone (1936), and Come Back to Erin (1940).

In discussing the hawk as a symbol of wildness and freedom, Professor Anderson quotes from Thoreau s description, June 7, 1853, of a nighthawk on her nest on the ground, and then immediately confuses it with Thoreau s discovery, June 8, 1853, of a hen-hawk s...
