'A delightful evocation of Irishness and of the author's deep-rooted
love of the very fields of home' Publishers Weekly
Alice Taylor's classic account of growing up in the Irish countryside,
the biggest selling book ever published in Ireland, beautifully
reproduced with photographs from Alice's life.
If ever a voice has captured the colors, the rhythms, the rich,
bittersweet emotions of a time gone by, it is Alice Taylor's. Her tales
of childhood in rural Ireland hark back to a timeless past, to a world
now lost, but ever and fondly remembered. The colorful characters and
joyous moments she offers have made To School Through the Fields an
Irish phenomenon, and have made Alice herself the most beloved author in
all of the Emerald Isle. A must-have for fans of Alice Taylor.
