Riassunto

Paddy Devlin was born nearly a hundred years ago in the Rock, a district about three miles north of Buncrana in Inishowen, County Donegal.With a memory as fresh as the spring wells of his childhood, he describes the rich folkways of a community that was well able to entertain itself, while still conscious of the stirring events in the world outside.Leaving the Rock, Paddy experienced life as a hired servant boy in Tyrone, Donegal and Derry, a labourer in Britain, a peacetime soldier and a survivor of Dunkirk. His remarkable story is told with a true writers eye for character, detail and sense of place.The book, edited from a much larger manuscript by the authors niece, Kathleen Barr, joins the list of the writings that reward the reader by their innate richness and provide a salutary reminder of what we were.
