Sinopse

Samuel Lover (24 February 1797 - 6 July 1868), also known as 'Ben Trovato' ('well invented'), was an Irish songwriter, composer, novelist, and a painter of portraits, chiefly miniatures. He was the grandfather of Victor Herbert. Lover produced a number of Irish songs, of which several - including The Angel?s Whisper, Molly Bawn, and The Four-leaved Shamrock - attained great popularity. He also wrote novels, of which Rory O?Moore (in its first form a ballad), and Handy Andy are the best known, and short Irish sketches which, with his songs, he combined into a popular entertainment called Irish Nights or Irish Evenings. With the latter, he toured North America during 1846-8. He joined with Charles Dickens in founding Bentley?s Magazine.
