Publisher's Synopsis

These are tales about a happy childhood in Ireland during the 1940s and 1950s. The author writes of a way of life which is characterized by its absences - no electricity, running water, record players or washing machines. The rural recollections evoke a life in which a sense of community and a closeness to nature play an important part. The author has also written "An Irish Country Diary" and "Close to Earth".
