Product Description
Signed by the author (simply as 'Thanks, Joe Dunne) to the title page. No other marks or dedications. Solid in dustjacket, light shelfwear only.
‘A Book About Portlaoise’ is the most detailed book ever written about the town. Ranging from a description of life in Maryborough in the 1700’s, through the history of businesses and their owners on Main Street, to a detailed survey of local music in the 20th century, its pages are teeming with generations of townies, many dead and gone, many still with us; some famous, some forgotten except by loved ones. All real people.
As well as page after page of interesting facts drawn from four centuries, there are intriguing chapters entitled The Golden Croft, Kings, Queens and the Missing Ancestor and The Methodists and Me.
