In tellng the story of his youth, Maurice O'Sullivan uses a style derived from the folk tales he learned from his grandfather, and sharpened by his own lively imagination. Though he wrote simply for his own pleasure and for the entertainment of his friends--without any thought of a wider audience--O'Sullivan now enjoys a devoted following of readers who appreciate what E.M Forster praised as the "gaiety and magic" of this book.

Felt like I'd traveled back in time and was part of this long gone way of life. Since I was going to the Blasket Islands in person, I wanted to understand the islanders. A fierce group of people-- almost lyrical writing--and quite vivid. What I imagined life was like made me shake my head. A must read before you go to Dingle Ireland
