The popular author of Alfie and Spring and Port Wine tells the story of his transformation from lorry driver to successful writer. A visit to his birthplace in the County Mayo in 1945 provides a chapter rich in forgotten folklore and custom of the Irish people, and in turn leads to the story of the family's emigration from their Irish home.
