Twenty Years A-Growing

O'Sullivan here tells the story of his growing up in Great Blasket, a sparse island off Ireland's Atlantic coast with a Gaelic-speaking population. Along with an introduction by E.M. Forster from the original 1933 printing, this edition contains new photos and illustrations by the author. * Library Journal *

This natural and beautiful book brings a breath of sea air and a strange music....It is as alive and sparkling as the sea on a summer morning. * The Observer *
A book to buy, to beg, or to borrow. To miss it is to miss something which will leave your adventuring among books incomplete. * Irish Independent *
You cannot possibly fail to enjoy this book, the only book I have ever reviewed which simply had to be praised without reservation... * The Listener *
