Synopsis
This novel is more than just the story of young Oliver Whiteside leaving the family farm in County Tyrone to study for the ministry. It is an invaluable record of the essence of Irish Presbyterianism in day to day life as experienced by regular ministers and members of their congregations during the mid-Nineteenth Century. It also provides a wealth of words and expressions used by the ordinary folk of that time which add great charm and humour to the book.
First published in 1931, this new edition includes an Introduction by Dr. Colin Walker, footnotes to the text, and a glossary of words and phrases to enhance the reader’s understanding and enjoyment of the work.

À propos de l'auteur
Lydia Mary Foster was born in 1867, the fourth child of the Rev. James Foster of Newmills Presbyterian Church, County Tyrone, and his wife Lydia (née Harkness). In the 1890s she established the “Ladies’ Collegiate School, Balmoral” (Belfast) with her two sisters Bessie and Jane. When they died in 1917 and 1918 respectively, followed in 1922 by their brother William who shared their home, Lydia was forced to try her hand at writing in order to make ends meet. For some time she contributed to magazines and periodicals before finally producing her first novel The Bush that Burned in 1931. This was followed by Tyrone Among the Bushes, a collection of poems and stories, in 1933. Despite ill-health she penned two further novels—Manse Larks in 1936 and The Elders’ Daughters in 1942. She died a spinster in 1943.
