Country Days

By Alice Taylor

Book Overview

Alice Taylor's name has become almost as beloved among Irish-Americans as St. Patrick's Day itself. In hardcover and paperback, nearly seventy-five thousand copies of her books are in print in the United States alone: with nearly a million in print internationally, she continues to be the most popular writer in Ireland. Country Days is her newest volume of glorious reminiscences of life in Eire; like its predecessors (including the classic To School Through the Fields) it is filled with character and characters, with delicious sensory memories and nostalgic tales both whimsical and warm. In stories by turn comic and poignant, she explores the world in which she grew up - a world held together by bonds of natural concern and kindness. Country Days is a writer s reunion with her readership, and a celebration of their journey together; it may also be her best book yet.
