Von Händler/Antiquariat, Moonlit City.
For Tom Nestor childhood was a soaring adventure across a rural landscape. With no place for him on the land or affinity with its toils he resolves to escape. With his pack of dogs he strides off into the green and carefree world of a curious boy in a magical time. Set in the countryside around Rathkeale in County Limerick, not twenty miles from the poverty-stricken lanes and ashes of Limerick city, this memoir is peopled with such characters as the mad aristocratic Absalom Creagh, and Miss James and Miss Abigail who taught through the medium of religion and terror. On the road to Rathkeale you pass manor houses, palatine homesteads and grass mounds where houses once stood. The miracle of radio opens a new world - Athlone, Hilversum, Luxembourg, the Goons and The Singing Cowboy. His escapism has set the boy at odds with his father. As the idea of leaving for boarding school fills him with dread he tries to heal the breach but fails. Paperback, Label: Collins Pr, Collins Pr, Product group: Book, Published: 2000-01-31, Studio: Collins Pr, Sales rank: 3586999.
