I'm missing this because I've an Elders meeting but I can testify that it's an amazing platonic ideal of a book you should buy your uncle for Christmas and my story about an earnest girl from Monaghan who helped set up Man City is not nearly the best entry...

An ad for the soon-to-be-published collection of short essays from Wordwell called Childhood and the Irish. The front cover features a boy in the 1950s wearing roller skates.
