- Synopsis
- THE PLAYBOY & THE YELLOW LADY The Mystery of James Lynchehaun and Agnes MacDonnell The true story of James Lynchehaun, peasant land agent, adventurer and rogue--the model for Synge's Playboy of the Western World--whose brutal assault on an English landowner, Agnes MacDonnell, on Achill Island one October night in 1894 caused a sensation throughout Ireland. This gripping tale of Lynchehaun's subsequent capture, his daring escape and flight to America, paints a vivid picture of Irish society at the turn of the century and of a man bold enough to step outside its conventions. * "A fascinating and intriguing book which shows better than anything else can how the Irish will always protect a man on the run."
