This Boy's Heart
by John Creedon
€ 12.99
ISBN: 9781804586174
John Creedon is a renowned storyteller. Following on
from the sensational success of An Irish Folklore Treasury, here he
seeks to capture the folklore of his own childhood.
This Boy's Heart is set in a
city-centre household bursting with humanity, with a cast of a dozen children
and another dozen adults, including beloved aunts, an American writer, an
African doctor and a Scottish bookie. The streets outside are teeming with
brewery horses, Christian Brothers, beat clubs, dance halls, a Turkish Delight
shop -- and a pub where a child could sit up on a high stool and smoke his
cigarette in peace. Summers are spent farmed out to friends and family in the
countryside, with hilarious tales of donkey derbies and cow chases.
Set in wildly contrasting worlds - from urban exotica
to spacious meadows, from the classroom of fifty boys to the open road - these
stories of friendship, fun, family and folklore take you on a heart-warming
journey into an Irish childhood.
