Donn Byrne (born Brian Oswald Patrick Donn-Byrne) (20 November 1889 - 18 June 1928) was an Irish novelist. Messer Marco Polo tells the story of the Italian adventurer as told by an Irishman. Byrne was firmly of the neo-Romantic view of the mythical and pastoral beauty of Irish history. His writing hauntingly evokes these images, sometimes seeming want to preserve them. "It seemed to me," he says in Wind, "that I was capturing for an instant a beauty that was dying slowly, imperceptibly, but would soon be gone." His simple narrative style recalls the atmosphere of ancient oral epics such as Taine Bo Cualinge and the Epic of Gilgamesh. Some of the works were published in the United Kingdom under different titles. Charles Buckles Falls, also known as C. B. Falls (December 10, 1874 - April 15, 1960), was an American artist, most known for his illustrations and writings. He is the author and illustrator of several books, including The ABC Book. During World War I, he was a member of the Society of Illustrators, with whom he produced war propaganda for the Committee on Public Information's Division of Pictorial Publicity. He is known for his World War I poster advertisements, such as Books Wanted. Falls is known for his skill as a letter-illustrator, often using large, "eccentric" black letters. He is also known for his woodblocks. Donn Byrne was a storyteller, the last, as he himself explained, of a long line of Irish storytellers. He belonged to the school of the romantic, the rhetorical, the magical--in short to the stylists of storytelling. Here is the convincing and unscholarly tale of Marco Polo's courtship of Golden Bells, the daughter of Kubla Khan, and of his journey from Venice, "Bride of the East," to the courts of Cathay, seen through the eyes and told in the brogue of the old Ulster Scotch-Irishman, Malachi of the Glens. Messer Marco Polo is a panoramic tapestry, richly woven of medieval colors, sights, and smells, the ivory, apes, and peacocks of a lost romance. But beneath the sweetness and light there is the terror and tragedy of "the whistling and clangor of the stars as they shot by in their orbits." There is maturity and irony as well as freshness. When Messer Marco Polo appeared in 1921 it charmed the critics.
