About the Author
Trevor Robertson White was born in Dublin in 1972. Educated at Sandford Park, St Columba’s College and Trinity College, he worked as a journalist in London and New York before launching The Dubliner magazine in 2001. Ten years later he founded the award-winning Little Museum of Dublin, where the story of the city is told in a collection created by public donation. He is the author of three plays and seven books, including The Dubliner Diaries, Malton’s Views of Dublin and Alfie: The Life and Times of Alfie Byrne.
