Very enjoyable short non fiction account of growing up on a farm in Ireland.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed this book immensely.
As I read the book, images of farmlife just flooded my mind and reminded me of the stories of my father's youth and the holidays I spent in Austria with my grandparents there.
I may have an evil touch in me as I cackled at the humorous (but possibly dangerous?) tale of The Beast and that of the Strawberry Cow.
Christmas in such a faraway land sounded similar to my christmasses as a child (except for the snow and the turkey story).
This book has effectively given me the "country" bug... I want to go visit my family in countryside Austria now!

Random, disconnected stories about author's childhood. Didn't feel any connection to the author since he really doesn't say much about himself overall. Some cute stories and a short read, at least.
