'A delightful evocation of Irishness and of the author's deep-rooted love of the very fields of home' Publishers Weekly
Alice Taylor’s classic account of growing up in the Irish countryside, the biggest selling book ever published in Ireland, beautifully reproduced with photographs from Alice's life.
If ever a voice has captured the colors, the rhythms, the rich, bittersweet emotions of a time gone by, it is Alice Taylor's. Her tales of childhood in rural Ireland hark back to a timeless past, to a world now lost, but ever and fondly remembered. The colorful characters and joyous moments she offers have made To School Through the Fields an Irish phenomenon, and have made Alice herself the most beloved author in all of the Emerald Isle. A must-have for fans of Alice Taylor.
A delightful evocation of Irishness and of the author’s deep-rooted
love of “the very fields of home” … with its rituals and local characters
One of the most richly evocative and moving portraits of
childhood ever written.
Ireland’s Laurie Lee … a chronicler of fading village life and rural rituals
