Question of the day #303, Books & Authors


"X" is a novel by an Anglo-Irish writer "Y". The book was so popular that it claimed to be universally read from the cabinet council to the nursery and has never been out of print. A basaltic hill in the Northern Ireland is thought to be the inspiration for the novel. The author is known as the master of two styles of satire - Horatian and Juvenalian styles. Who is the author and about which book are we talking about?
