To School Through the Fields by Alice Taylor
Alice Taylor's tales of childhood in rural Ireland hark back to a timeless past, to a world now lost, but ever and fondly remembered. The colourful characters and joyous moments she offers have made this book an Irish henomenon, and have made Alice herself the most beloved author in all of the Emerald Isle.A delightful evocation of Irishness and of the author’s deep-rooted
love of “the very fields of home” … with its rituals and local characters
One of the most richly evocative and moving portraits of
childhood ever written
Ireland’s Laurie Lee … a chronicler of fading village life
and rural rituals
Alice Taylor lives in the village of Innishannon in County Cork, in a house attached to the local supermarket and post office. Her first book, To School Through the Fields, was published in 1988. It was an immediate success and quickly became the biggest selling book ever published in Ireland. Alice has written nearly twenty books since then, largely exploring her beloved village and the ways of life in rural Ireland. She has also written poetry and fiction: her first novel, The Woman of the House, was an immediate bestseller. Most recently, she wrote a children's picture book with her daughter Lena Angland, called Ellie and the Fairy Door.
