From the Dust Jacket: "It is half an hour before New Year's Eve, 1959, and snow coats the cramped, gray streets of Dublin. On the rooftop of 44 Seville Place, a ten-year-old boy clings to the steel rod of a television antenna. When his father urges him to turn the antenna toward England, the boy reaches up and pictures from a foreign place beam into their home. Our young hero, Peter, and his family will never be the same again. As the tumultuous 1960s unfold, the Sheridans -- Ma and Da, Frankie, the baby, Shea (later to be known to the rest of the world as Academy Award-winning film director Jim Sheridan), Ita and the younger siblings -- forge ahead into the unknown. Young Peter experiences all of life's mysteries -- sex, The Beatles, drugs, the Troubles erupting just one hundred miles away in Belfast and, above all, the seductive power of the theater. With boisterous humor, compassion, and sharp-edged wit, Peter Sheridan captures the lives of his eccentric, talented, and very loving Dublin family.". Signed by the Author (signature only). Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. 8vo. viii, 278pp.

About About Books

About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
