This is the story of one child growing up in Dublin during the 1950's. Find out what a typical day was like for an energetic child, in the care of his eccentric grandmother. 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. Discover how despite, the poverty and difficulties of everyday life and moulded by all the various influences this child grew up to be a well-adjusted adult.
