Around The Farm Gate is a unique collection of 50 stories about rural Irish life set at the crossroads between tradition and modernity in the latter part of the twentieth century. The stories are a snapshot in time as they capture the activities of people striving to earn their daily bread in different settings across the country
This book was everything that I'd hoped it would be when I saw it advertised in Ireland's Own magazine. There was a great variety of stories which evoked lovely images. A very enjoyable trip down nostalgia lane and as a Glasgow Celtic supporter, I had the treat that is the final story.
