Synopsis
The biggest bestseller ever published in Ireland, this sparkling memoir of life in the Irish countryside is a book of charm and lasting appeal. "A delightful evocation of Irishness and of the author's deep-rooted love of the very fields of home', this picture of bucolic life in an earlier time, with its rituals of religion and the antics of local characters, has universal appeal."-Publishers Weekly. "One of the most richly evocative and moving portraits of childhood [ever] written ... A journey every reader will treasure and will want to read over and over again."-Boston Herald.
