Years have elapsed since, on a beautiful May morning, the author of this little work left his home in Shanwalla and, journeying up the Dublin road, commenced that portion of his career which was destined to be spent in English towns and cities. But, though long separated from his native place, his thoughts, in leisure moments, have frequently been with the past, and he has found much pleasure in recalling the peculiar characteristics of friends and neighbours left behind, and has, in lonely hours of exile, again laughed over some of the humorous episodes in Shanwalla shistory.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts a series of humorous and heartwarming tales set in the fictional town of Shanwalla during the early 1900s. The inhabitants are a colourful cast of eccentrics, and the accounts of their day-to-day lives explore themes of community, tradition and the evolving nature of rural life in Ireland at that time. The book illuminates the folklore, wit and wisdom of Shanwalla, and paints a vivid picture of a place with far more importance than its size might suggest. Its tales are told with great regard for this fictional space and its people, illustrating that the most fascinating and profound human dramas can play out in the most unexpected settings.
