This book is a tribute to Old Cork City life and traditions.
The denizens of Old Cork stand out from the crowd and speak their minds. In the span of three years, Michael Verdon interviewed dozens of Cork’s native sons and daughters. The result is a candid and colourful account of what life was like before World War II, as told by those who know.
The voices are rich and wise, informal and kind. Laced with humour built on keen observation, this book celebrates the homespun wisdom of Ireland’s real capital.
