For generations, Clery's on O'Connell Street represented the excitement of shopping in the heart of Ireland's capital, having benn founded as one of the first department stores in teh bustling Dublin of the 1850's. Over the years it grew and expanded, witnissing the main events of Irish history - including te destruction of the 1916 and Civil war periods. in the 1940's the shop was rescued from bankruptcy by a larger than life character who made it a centre of Dublin's retail and commercial life , and for much of the 20th century, Clery's was still Denis Guiney's store. This 1992 memoir traces the changes of fortune through the years of a much loved ( and now gone in controversial circumstances) Dublin landmark.
