As much a time as a place...This book is about being a child in a small town in Ireland in the 1940’s and 1950’s. It was a time and a place where life was magical and ready to be explored. Events that happened all those years ago are brought vividly to life with the realisation, love and hindsight that living has provided.
“a childhood remembered with affection by sounds and smells and feelings; by the happiness of the great outings to Rosslare; the excitement of the mighty games of taws, when every child in the area walked around with a little cloth purse full of marbles...you want to know more about these people who lived in a world where children feared the bogeyman, drank water from the pump, listened to Dick Barton on the wireless and saw every film that came to town.”
