The Boarding House - Stories from an Irish Lodging House
The Irish old-fashioned boarding house existed at a time before commuting when people often travelled to work or study all over Ireland. Peggy McFeely describes the landladies and residents of a boarding house in a small Irish market town.
Meet the unforgettable cast of the Fridge Man, the Spud Man, the Wild Life Boy, the Corsetiere and the landladies themselves – including the unstoppable Miss Evelyn Tracey. Unexpected starrring roles are supplied by a hungry greyhound, daffodils and a vet’s thermometer!
Twenty-eight adventures of boarding house life.
