Childhood and the Irish

Following the success of the four-volume series, 'Birth, Marriage, Christmas and Death and the Irish', this collection examines the celebration of Childhood among the Irish, from the seventh century to the present day. In 75 articles, ranging from the serious to the light-hearted, writers from a range of academic disciplines and professions reflect on what Childhood has meant to Irish people through the ages, whether living at home or abroad.
