About the Book

Enjoy this warm and emotional journey, as you enter the spirit of a boy, as he grows up amidst family love and scorn, class prejudice and an ever present backdrop of the religious landscape in Dublin in the 40s. It is an narration based on true life experiences as seen through the author from age four to fourteen. Look behind the interlinked stories and there unfolds a humorous and moving account of his endeavours. which will bring both laughter and tears to your eyes. Enjoy his heavenly fantasies with his fairy-godmother- Nimberley Nobody-as he delves into his imagination to escape reality. Because his dad was a Jew, experience his fear, as his Grandad tells him stories of Hitler and the Germans. Not to mention his encounters with the Devil, the Banshee, and other things that go bump in the night. His life revolves around his Mother and a Matriarch, who knew everything about everybody. It is full of amusing anecdotes and colourful characters, that weaves a wonderful tapestry of life on the streets. Live through the heartbreak he suffered, when at the age of twelve he fell in love for the first time, his first job, and how he flirted, and kissed the girls, this was a cause for confession, because he heard the priest say from the pulpit ' Sex is unclean, repent or you are all doomed' This book is a social record of life, as was, at that time, and written in a way that will make its reading enjoyable.
About the Author: Tom Bye was born and reared, in the squalor of a one room dwelling, in a lane-way, under the shadow of the high rise tenements and not far from the area of Dublin, known as The Liberties. It was a childhood of poverty and deprivation. His Father left the family home to work in England, when he was four years of age, leaving his Mother to suffer great hardship- amongst other things - cooking on a fire under the light of a paraffin oil lamp. He left school before he was fourteen years of age with little or no qualifications, and got a job as an office boy to support his mother as she endeavoured to rear a family of four. Tom is self-educated, having spent a lot of time during his teenage years reading books in his local library. He now lives in Glenageary, Co. Dublin and has two children Rachel and Stephen and four grandchildren.
