Description
The Green Fool
This unsentimental and evocative account of Patrick Kavanagh's Irish rural upbringing offers a glimpse into a patriarchal society surviving on the edge of poverty, sustained by the land and an insatiable love of gossip.
From schoolboy skirmishes to farm-work in the fields, this memoir is full of tales that immortalized a fast-disappearing way of life and brought recognition as one of Ireland's great poets.
