Hopscotch and Queenie-i-o by Damian Corless
Before the 1970s flipped the switch to colour, Irish children ere raised in a world of black, white and an awful lot of grey. But kids, being kids, found endless ways to have fun. Do you remember Dáithí Lacha, Radio Caroline and holidays in Butlin’s Mosney? Then this is the book for you! Damian Corless takes us on a tongue-in-cheek trip down memory lane to the age of Let’s Draw With Bláithín, instant mashed potato and `Yellow Submarine’. Set against a backdrop of the space race and the miniskirt, this is a delightful celebration of the days we thought would never end (and some we’re glad are gone forever).Damian Corless, a journalist and former editor of Magill and In Dublin, currently contributes to the Irish Independent. He has written comedy sketches for BBC TV's classic Big Train and RTE's award-winning Stew. His acclaimed books include Looks Like Rain: 9,000 Years of Irish Weather (2013) and From Clery's Clock to Wanderly Wagon (2014), a lively romp through the Irish history you weren't taught at school.
