This is a children's book, written from her own childhood perspective by the granddaughter of Lady Augusta Gregory of Coole Park, County Galway, Ireland (which is where I bought the book). At the turn of the 20th century, Lady Gregory, along with her good friend W.B. Yeats, started the Abbey theatre, now the national theatre of Ireland. Gregory was a playwright, editor, folklorist, and cultural icon, and she knew just about every Irish author of note at the time. The great joy of this book is the child-perspective on such iconic figures as Yeats (who isn't much fun when one wants to play games), and George Bernard Shaw (who steals jam and peeks during hide-and-seek). Anyone with an interest in Irish literature and culture will get a kick out of this sometimes rambling but always charming little book. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
