With the unforced eloquence of a born storyteller, Irish traditional singer Packie Manus Byrne recounts his eventful life. After painting a fascinatingly detailed picture of growing up in an isolated crofting community in southwest Donegal, Ireland in the early decades of the twentieth century, he goes on to chronicle his adventurous wanderings as—among many other things—cattle drover, smuggler, steeplejack, circus hand, actor, and folk performer.

Directly transcribed from taped conversations, these amusing and often moving reminiscences sparkle with Packie Manus’s natural wit, cheerfulness, and sheer uncomplicated enjoyment of life and human society.
