Discover Dublin and the ordinary people who lived there. The hardship, the poverty and the humour. Get a glimpse into a world now gone forever. A time when doors were left unlocked and visitors were always welcome. When mothers fed large families on small weekly allowances from their husbands. Experience the harsh and often violent education system, where teachers and the Christian Brothers meted out corporal punishment, with great generosity. Join in the childhood adventures set against the backdrop of a changing society. Learn about the social history of Dublin and Ireland in a light-hearted humorous way. Immerse yourself in this book and imagine yourself as a Dublin child, growing up in working class family. Enjoy the wild and eccentric approach to child rearing adopted by his grandmother.
