Paperback. Etat : Very Good. The tale of how Mark Pollock overcame sudden blindness, which he suffered at the age of 21, to attempt and achieve remarkable feats, has inspired people to look at their own lives and attempt to do more with them. Mark, though, has been a little bit surprised by the fuss and he decided to investigate, with his friend Ross Whitaker, the reasons why some people make excuses, while others make it happen. This book is the document of his findings. The structure of the book comes from Mark's step by step path to recovery. In every area of significance he has interviewed other successful people to find out what they do to succeed. The book takes the reader through the steps, and challenges the reader to look at his/her own life to see what more they might do to achieve his/her dreams. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. The wicket gate was the main exit route from the pub when the guards knocked on the front door after hours and it was important that the last man through shut the gate. The Kilmichael or the Bar K as it is called in the book was unique in that the characters who gathered there to argue, laugh and sing together came from backgrounds as diverse as the British Army, Old IRA, RIC, Irish Army and those 'who fought Spain'. The Kilmichael Bar was not only a pub but also a corner shop and later a restaurant, the landlady was a most enterprising woman; she invented the phenomena of 'pub grub', just to circumvent the absurd licensing laws of the period. As Tomas O Criomhthain said We shall not look upon their likes again. Friends and neighbours played an important role and were seen as part of the extended family. Close the Wicket Gate also deals with issues which were taboo in the 1940s and 1950s - suicide, alcoholism, loneliness and mental health, people did not know how to deal with them, and psychology was only in its infancy. Life changed immeasurably and with unprecedented speed at this time. Some of the stories beggar belief; Thomas who at the age of twelve left home to join the Royal Navy and spent 40 years at sea in everything from mine sweepers to the QE2, but could never come home in uniform. Pat who was deloused along with hundreds of other young Irish boys at 'The Globe Hotel' before sailing for England and a lifetime of work with the Ford Motor Co. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Etat : Good. The fifteen-year-old who was the very first immigrant of any nationality to land at the famous handling station at Ellis Island, New York has now become a young woman of twenty. Annie returns to New York and her family and friends after her two-year stay in the wild west. She is excited by all the opportunities New York has to offer her, but especially by the prospect of spending more time with Mike Tierney, the young man she loves. The glamour of New York life is seductive, although it contrasts sharply with the poverty all around. Annie sees both sides of the city, and must decide where her loyalties lie. At the same time, Mike is campaigning in a presidential election while Annie fights for women's right to vote. Then, just when life seems to be going right, war intervenes, taking Mike far away into great danger. Annie discovers that there is sorrow as well as joy in growing up and that some things are irreplaceable. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. In today's education system, there is no longer such an emphasis on learning by heart as there was in former times. Our parents could recite entire poems from beginning to end, word perfect, thereby enriching both their lives and their speech. This book looks at hos the emphasis has now changed from learning to experiencing poetry. Thomas Welsh draws upon his 25 years of experience in Irish classrooms to produce a collection of the most memorable, of the poems learned in school in Ireland long ago. The majority of the poems are by Irish poets, although there are a fair number of English and American poets included; the latter, however, have a distinct Irish flavour. All of the poems have one thing in common; they aim to stir a nostalgic chord. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Etat : Good. The dragon roared and the clearing filled with shining whiteness. The flames burned with the pure deadly brightness that can only come from dragon fire. Annie closed her eyes but the scene imprinted on her vision; The knight tall and proud with his sword raised high and the dragon on her haunches, wings spread wide above them. When she opened her eyes all that was left of him was red hot armor glowing on the ground and a skittish grey mare neighing in panic. Can a damsel ever be the one to do the rescuing? Annie Brave thinks so. Her father, one of the most famous heroes of them all, is missing, presumed eaten. With no heroes available to rescue him from the clutches of the evil wizard, Greenlott, Annie takes his book How to Slay Dragons - and Other Advice for the Hero in Training and sets off on a rescue mission.Teaming up with Roger of Rockfield, an honorable liar, she embarks on a series of adventures which are far from traditional. Whether these adventures involve Annie saving Roger from giant spiders or Annie and Roger dealing with the amorous advances of a prince frog (not to be confused with a frog prince) every incident leads them further on a voyage of self-discovery they never intended to make.

Paperback. Etat : Fair. Sister Deirdre Logan, principal of the Precious Blood convent school of Oak Hill, is seeing the world change around her. She is slowly coming to terms with the death of her closest friend, Ita, from cancer and is concerned about the dramatic fall in the number of new vocations to the church and her students' apparent loss of faith. Worst of all, the school is selling off some of it's land to developers, and the body of it's founder, Catherine Browne, will have to be exhumed to allow the building work to proceed. Then Sister Deirdre is asked to write Catherine's biography. As she delves deeper into the archives, she realises that the founder may not have been quite the woman that those around her thought she was. And as she learns more about this remarkable woman, Deirdre begins to be drawn into the details of her life and to reflect on the choices she has made herself over the years. Swan Song is a multilayered tale of the joys and trials of the religious life, and a gripping examination of the personal pressures with which we all have to deal. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This autobiography describes the first ten years of the life of Christy Kenneally, a working-class Cork northsider who lost his mother when he was five years old. The book captures the sorrow and the compensating love given by his father, Dave, his grandparents and a regiment of aunts, uncles and cousins. The life is a simple one, yet full of the adventures provided by the Lane and the Quarry, and other places in the wonderland that formed the landscape of his childhood. The picture of the city, with the lightly expressed, but fundamental schism between northside and southside, is a piece of social history dating from 1948-1958, when the city had near-full employment, and hurling and films were the preoccupation of its youth. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
