Product Description
A treasure trove of oral history about the 1916-23 period, collected by the children of West Cork. This is a book of memories uniquely interpreted by children - 'small stories' about personal experiences of big history' events in our revolutionary past. Invaluable oral history from the 1916-23 period, most of it previously unrecorded, was gathered by 823 children over four years from family and older members of their community in West Cork. From the man who tucked Michael Collins into bed on his last night and Dev's immediate reaction to his shooting the next day, to the young girl who lost her ‘good confirmation shoe' in the Kilmichael Ambush aftermath - these intimate accounts enrich our understanding of this pivotal period, and are also truly a joy to read. Over 300 individual stories from a time of revolution and war - from civilians' difficult daily lives to those directly involved in the conflict - all enhanced by original artwork and hundreds of images.
