My Village My World

<p>'This is a book that never palls or drags. It is boisterous and ribald and I am tempted to say that it is by far the funniest book I have ever read. It is also an accurate and revealing history of rural Ireland half a century ago and more. John M. Feehan writes beautifully throughout. I love this book.'</p><p></p><p>From the Foreward by John B. Keane</p><p></p><p>My Village - My World is a fascinating account of the lives of ordinary people in the countryside of half a century ago. It depicts a way of life that took thousands of years to evolve and mature and was destroyed in a single generation. Although the people of John M. Feehan's village were never famous and might now be described as 'unskilled' this would be a false description. They were all highly skilled whether in making coffins droving cattle or tending horses.</p><p></p><p>The world described with such vivacity in this lively memoir was not idyllic. There were sinners as well as saints all ordinary mortals.</p><p></p><p>The village of John M. Feehan was unique and lives on in these pages.</p>
