Me Jewel and Darlin' Dublin: 50th Anniversary Edition by Eamonn MacThomais
50th Anniversary Edition
A beautifully presented and attractively laid out commemorative edition, with new introductions by Ivan OBrien, MD of The OBrien Press and best-selling author Donal Fallon.
The very first book published by The OBrien Press in 1974 celebrates fifty years in print.
The OBrien Press launched its first publication in November 1974. Me Jewel and Darlin' Dublin, written by Eamonn MacThomais and published while the author was in jail, was an immediate success and has become a classic. Full of historical facts, anecdotes and Dublin wit, this book evokes the spirit, the characters and colours, the sights, sounds and even the smells of old Dublin. With sections on markets, pawn shops, street characters, the Liberties, slang and wit of Dublins newspapers, the citys history is traced right back to Brian Boru, the Huguenots,the debtors prison', and Dublin's troubled history of risings and revolutions.
Celebrating fifty years of Me Jewel & Darlin Dublin and of The OBrien Press.
