Dead accurate"" - Irish Press. Only a Dubliner could have written this. Pintmanship is defined, ""Offeecials"" are abused, the four-legged fellas lamented. Oul' wans flit through its pages and the rich and varied cast includes the Paycock, the ball-man, Bang-Bang, the oul' bird, the long fellow and the Abbey Street public speaker. The talk is pure Dublin idiom, lacking only the vibrant kiss of life of the Dublin adenoid, `the finest and most plaintive speaking instrument ever devised.' ""The whole life of the Dublin of the `40s and `50s. A most delightful book.the photographs are splendid"" - Benedict Kiely, Irish Times.
