“The midnight court and The adventures of a luckless fellow,” Translated from the Gaelic by Percy Arland Ussher with a pref. by W. B. Yeats & woodcuts by Frank W. Peers. Published: [Folcroft, Pa.] Folcroft Library Editions, 1974, 79 p. illus. 23 cm., ISBN: 0841488525, Reprint of the 1926 edition published by Boni and Liveright, New York.

The Adventures of a Luckless Fellow referred to in the title is a translation of Eachtra Ghiolla an Amaráin (c. 1750), a lengthy poem by Donncha Rua Mac Conmara (1715-1810). In it, the poet describes his possibly imaginary emigration to Newfoundland. In a bout of seasickness, the goddess Aoibheall of Liath Craig, who plays a central role in the Cúirt, appears to the poet and takes him to Acheron.
