The book tells the story of the gradual revelation of some of the details of Robert Tressell’s life and the discovery of his manuscript The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.,
This led to the novel’s publication in full for the first time in 1955.
Much new information is included about Robert Noonan’s (Tressell’s real name) Irish background and early years.
This stunning biography was written by Bryan MacMahon originally from Ballyheigue. Our copy has been signed by the author.
