Harpercollins Australia, 1996. TRADE PAPER. Near Fine. Despite impoverishing his family because of his alcoholism, McCourt's fathe r passed on to his son a gift for superb storytelling. He told him about th e great Irish heroes, the old days in Ireland, the people in their Limerick neighborhood, and the world beyond their shores. McCourt writes in the voi ce of the child?with no self-pity or review of events?and just retells the tales. He recounts his desperately poor early years, living on public assis tance and losing three siblings, but manages to make the book funny and upl ifting. Stories of trying on his parents' false teeth and his adventures as a post-office delivery boy will have readers laughing out loud. Young peop le will recognize the truth in these compelling tales; the emotions express ed; the descriptions of teachers, relatives, neighbors; and the casual crue lty adults show toward children. Readers will enjoy the humor and the music in the language. A vivid, wonderfully readable memoir., Harpercollins Australia, 1996, 4<
