For generations, Clerys has represented the excitement of shopping in the heart of Ireland's capital. It was founded as one of the world's first department stores in the bustling, crinolined Dublin of the 1850s. Over the years it has seen enacted on its doorsteps the stirring events of the city's history - from the Fenians and the 1916 Rising, to President Kennedy's visit and the demolition of Nelson's Pillar. In the 1940s the shop was rescued from bankruptcy by a larger-than-life character who made it a I centre of Dublin life. For many, Clerys is still Denis Guiney's store. This lively memoir traces the changes of fortune through the years of a much-loved Dublin landmark.
