Twenty Years A-Growing
Maurice O'Sullivan, Moya Llewellyn Davies, George Thompson, E. M. Forster
Paperback (Oxford University Press, April 17, 1983)In tellng the story of his youth, Maurice O'Sullivan uses a style derived from the folk tales he learned from his grandfather, and sharpened by his own lively imagination. Though he wrote simply for his own pleasure and for the entertainment of his friends--without any thought of a wider audience--O'Sullivan now enjoys a devoted following of readers who appreciate what E.M Forster praised as the "gaiety and magic" of this book.
