Item description from seller

23.6cm x 23.6cm. XI, 228 pages. Illustrated in colour with specially commissioned photographs. Illustrated with maps. Original Hardcover with original dustjacket in protective collector's mylar. Excellent, as new condition. Jack Sheehan was one of eleven children born into an impoverished farming family on the Sheep's Head peninsula in South West Ireland. Growing up in hungry times, he stayed on the farm all his eighty-three years, taking it over when his father died and steadfastly caring for its fields through the dormant 1950s and the better times that came in the decades that followed. He lived to see the eclipse of his farming world and to view with dismay the way encroaching proerty speculators and consumerism were changing the nature of his landscape. Jack Sheehan was born just as the Irish state was coming into existence and his life is as revealing of that country's history as the more familiar accounts of national figures.
