Alice Taylor takes a journey back to the 1940s and 1950s in rural Ireland through the well-used schoolbooks that she has kept from that time. Poetry, legends, stories and history evoke a way of life, and pace of life, that's long changed.
To me, relaxing means with a book! I had been looking for an excuse to send this treasure of a book to our members and I waited for the right curation to place it in to. Alice has included poetry that I love, stories that fascinate – be it about fairies or animals or folklore or her own childhood – a little bit of history and the list goes on.
