Bøger af Peter Somerville-Large

Peter Somerville-Large grew up with his brother Phil in a nursery world at the top of a smart house in Dublin. This biography takes the reader back to the sensations and excitements of children, and paints a picture of a world at once so recent and yet now vanished.

Ireland's history has long been illuminated, and enlivened, by bizarre, colourful, extravagant, unfettered individuals: ripe country-house eccentrics, saints, scholars, bucks and hell-rakes, duellists, abductors, rhymers and miracle-makers. These factual and fascinating biographical sketches make for 'delightful reading' (Frank Muir).
