Monto: Madams, Murder and Black Coddle

by Terry Fagan

Madams, Murder and Black Coddle chronicles the history and reminisences in a part of Dublin rich in the memories of its people.

The Monto area, long thought of as simply a place of pimps and prostitutes, is shown here in a different light as the memories and reminisences of those who experienced life around Montgomery Street and its environs is brought to life through colourful anecdotes and humerous tales.

Great book that highlights the local communitites and the experiences in Monto. It may be a little difficult if you don't have some background knowledge on Irish History (especially for the 1916 section). Otherwise, a great piece of history kept in this book!

This is a great book about the seamier side of Dublin life. It uncovers much detail about an area of the city now longgone, yet remembered in popular memory and in song. Soon to be re-published in updated form I believe. I'll certainly be buying the new version.
