Publisher's Synopsis

The author gives a personal view of a city he first visited as a young journalist in 1923, and which he came to love. He tells us of Dublin's politics, explores its fine mansions, its curious statues and hidden corners, its splendour and squalor.;He takes the reader there in the 1920s; goes to see plays in the draughty Abbey Theatre - Sean O'Casey with his paper pinned on the wall, "Get on with the bloody play", Yeats waving a teapot in indignation at Shaw, and he shows the reader the Dublin of the 60s, a modern city facing the future, but still as eccentric, enchanting and eloquent as ever.
