Tales From Tipperary

<p>Full of amusement this series of fictional tales starts with a Galwayman’s arrival in Tipperary’s post-famine days and portrays the daily lives of a hillside community. <br /> <br />Written in the colloquial and lyrical language of some of our ancestors it tells – amongst others – such diverse stories as the reliance of families on children rabbit-poaching on the pre-dawn cattle-droving days of a young school-leaver the re-appearance of a dead girl to her newly-born sister…along with a number of love-hate incidents like the townie scorn for a mountainy man at the show-fair before he walks off with the big trophy!</p>
