Frogs and Snails and Big Dog's Tales by Frank Murney
During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Red Morgan and Po Hillen are in their early teens and truly experiencing life in the Irish border town of Newry. In fact, they've become more outrageous and humorous than ever. Uncle Luigi's Caf -where their close friend and conspirator, Anto Falsoni, works part-time for his uncle-serves as the headquarters for all the gang's mischievous and devious planning, which seems to be an everyday occurrence. New and exciting interests influence the boys' lives. They race homemade carts at breakneck speeds on Newry's steep hills. They avidly follow their football team and travel to Dublin and England to watch the competition. And, of course, girls and dating play a new role, and these distractions lead to some unexpected, hilarious, and sometimes embarrassing situations. Frogs and Snails and Big Dog's Tales takes a nostalgic romp through the 1960s while sharing the daily exploits of Red, Po, and their gang-their love lives, school days, and friends, as well as other unbelievable and hilarious escapades.
Frank Murney was born in Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland on the 23rd of October 1945. He was educated at the Christian Brother Abbey and St. Josephs Intermediate School.
A career in aviation gave way to martial arts when he became an instructor and went on to create his own unique style, Golden Dragon which went on to become one of Irelands most successful ever clubs. Frank's martial arts career has spanned over 30 years and his position as World Chief of Referees resulted in the publication of a book on semi contact refereeing called Man in the Middle.
Since retiring, he has devoted himself to writing short stories based on life in Newry during the 1950s and 1960s.
