William Butler Yeats was born near Dublin in 1865, and was encouraged from a young age to pursue a life in the arts. He attended art school for a short while, but soon found that his talents and interest lay in poetry rather than painting. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923, Yeats produced a vast collection of stories, songs, and poetry of Ireland's historical and legendary past. These writings helped secure the writer recognition as a leading proponent of Irish nationalism and Irish cultural independence. Yeats produced a series of plays based on the legendary Irish hero Cuchulain, a tale that dates from the ninth or tenth century. «The Green Helmet» describes Cuchulain's return from battle, when he discovers that a friend has become indebted to the Red man for a very unusual item, a head. Written in the Noh tradition, this dramatic play marks a period of significant literary and political change for Yeats.

Kas toesti ihaldab see kirju seltskond maja, mis peab vaevalt vastu esimesele sugistormile. Ja siis leitakse vanadaami testament, mille avamisel selgub, et ta on maaranud – porunud nagu ta oli olnud kogu elu! – oma kassi ja maja ainuparijaks koigile tundmatu mehe – Frank Steeli.
