Goodbye to the Hill has been hailed as an Irish classic and Lee Dunne as one of Ireland’s most successful writers. In 1978, it was made into a stage play that had a 26-week run, “at a time when 4 weeks was a big deal in Dublin,” says Dunne. In this new edition, Dunne adds a preface that tells the quirky story of its overwhelming success.

From the Publisher:

Lee Dunne, whose work was banned in Ireland at one time, is also hailed as one of its most successful authors. The timing is right for a revival of this delightful work that has become an Irish classic. Not only the Irish will relate to Paddy Maguire. He is the universal adolescent in bondage to a self-image that he detests because of its strong resemblance to the child he is desperate to outgrow. Dandelion Books brings forth this a new edition of Goodbye to the Hill with a preface by Dunne that tells the quirky story of its overwhelming success.

From the Author:

“Incredible how this lucky, simple story became my ‘riches,’” says Dunne. “It has been the springboard for a whole career which, with all its up and downs, was exactly the life I would have chosen beforehand, had I had any say in the matter.”

“Some people told me it was the first book they’d ever read. Others said it had got them back to reading, (a pastime) that had fallen by the wayside over the years.” And no wonder. Paddy is a young man with an insatiable sex drive and curiosity to match. He wants to have it all without missing a trick... and at that age, or any age – who doesn’t?
