Good, gently-aged condition with unmarked text and firm binding, free of inscriptions and stamps. -- This is the heart-warming story of an ordinary working man with an extraordinary talent for living - and an uncommon gift for telling a tale. With humour, affection, and a sure eye for detail, Packie Manus Byrne recounts his childhood in an isolated crofting community in the mountains of southwest Donegal. His vivid descriptions bring to life this vanished world where hard work broke people's health but never their spirits, where self-reliance and neighbourliness were a way of life, and where the joys of music, dance and storytelling were rich reward for the day's toil. Restless by nature, Packie Manus left home in search of adventure and found plenty: travelling the length and breadth of England and Ireland, he plied every trade imaginable - labourer and cattle drover, steeplejack and smuggler, actor and circus hand - before achieving widespread recognition as a traditional folk singer and musician. Packie Manus Byrne guides us through the eventful, amusing and often moving chronicle of his life with the unforced eloquence of a born storyteller. His natural warmth shines clearly through these pages, lending Recollections of a Donegal Man a charm that provides the perfect framework for the social, historical and human interest of this captivating story.
