    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A collection of stories and tales about the adventures of a variety of different characters, including an elderly cat describing her adventures—most frequently her many brushes with death—throughout her life, a successful farmer who had to endure an astonishing number of travails and hardships in his life on his way to prosperity, a young woman who made an imprudent marriage and suffered until a rich uncle returned from sea and lifts her and her family out of poverty, and an Indian prince who is presented with a series of gifts, the most valuable of which turns out to be a book or moral precepts from which he would learn to rule with wisdom and grace. The major theme running through many of these stories appears to be fortitude and perseverance, even in the face of adversity, disaster, and death.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A collection of nine different tales, each with a particular moral for the reader. The topics of the stories range from shipwrecked sailors to devoted little dogs, to moral injunctions to surround oneself with company of good sensibilities, fortitude in the face of disaster, the pleasure of home to a world-weary traveler upon returning to his native town, to a discussion of different religions. While the title suggests that these are all Irish tales, the tales themselves are set in a variety of places, including Italy and England.]]></dcterms:abstract>
