The last of the name
Here, filtered through a devoted schoolmaster and a master dramatist, is a voice that transports us to a period now beyond the grasp of living memory, an autobiography, a compendium of folklore and a vivid account of the life and times of a particular community in the north-west of Ireland. ""This is a book full of emotional truth and beauty of immediate, trusting speech, overbrimming with folklore of great imaginative richness.""--Seamus Heaney
