Customer Reviews

What a great life this boy had!

You'd expect -- particularly if you read much Dickens -- that this short, personal history would be dim and depressing. It is anything but that! While Christy Kenneally may have lived in great poverty of life-style, he didn't life in poverty of love, laughter and joy. Antics, adventures and affection show through every page, every character and every story. I loved it!

A great book for Corkpeople everywhere

This book is a heartwarming account of Christy Kenneallys Cork childhood and the tragedy of his mothers death. I would especially recommend this book to any Cork people away from home.
