by
Tom Bye
Stephen Bauer's journey into puberty is set in motion,standing on the street corner.
Ring-a-Ring-a-Rosie, as the light declines, I remember Dublin city, in the rare oul times!
A lively, vibrant fictionalized story based on fact, full of amusing anecdotes and colourful characters, told in a humorous manner.
Locked into a world of dreams and fantasies, Stephen looks to his angel 'Nimberley' to guide him through his encounters with a strange array of happenings, with his Aunts, a matriarch, mystic woman, the banshee, the devil, an abuser, a teacher hating protestants and the inquisition.
Enjoy his trip to heaven to have his soul purified, read about his fear of being captured by Hitler and tortured (his dad being a Jew), the heartbreak suffered, when at the age of twelve he falls in love only to be rejected for an older fella and his huge dilemma: which of his three loves is he going to marry when he get older.
It is a delightful collection of interlinked stories.
