I could not but admire my lady's spirit, and was proud to see Castle Rackrent again in all its glory'Thady Quirk is the everpresent steward to four generations of a dying dynasty in Castle Racrent, hilariously flattering and encouraging his hapless masters on their road to ruin.

This volume also includes Ennui, a natural sequel to Castle Rackrent with its family nurse of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, the lazy and gullible English earl, Lord Glenthorn, learns a shocking secret that will drive him and his nurse apartFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the Englishspeaking world.
