  • Golden Days on Coney Island

    Golden Days on Coney Island

    25.00

    Cormac Carty lived on the island from 1945 till 1953 and his memories of those simpler times have now been printed posthumously, following Cormac’s death.

    The book is almost like a collection of short stories which covers everything from starting school to journeys on a horse from the island to Knocknarea or bringing cattle to the fair.

    Normally, bringing cattle would be a straightforward operation but bringing cows from Coney Island to a fair was nothing short of a very dangerous task.”

    “Back then it (the island) was completely isolated and Cormac would have gone into Sligo town once a week to do the shopping and selling things he would have picked ‘The Champion’ up and without fail from cover to cover it would be read out and everyone would be listening for all the news.”

  • Handiwork

    Handiwork

    12.50

    In this contemplative short narrative, artist and acclaimed writer Sara Baume charts the daily process of making and writing, exploring what it is to create and to live as an artist. A short, elegant piece that encompasses images and is itself a significant artifact, handiwork will offer more of the beautiful prose and extraordinary versatility you’ve come to expect from Sara Baume. ‘This little book is a love-child of my art and writing practices, or a by-product of novels past and coming. It’s about the connection between handicraft and bird migration, as well as simply the account of a year spent making hundreds of small, painted objects in an isolated house. It will be my third book with Tramp Press, and I’m thrilled that they continue to support my endeavours.’ – Sara Baume

    Let’s face it: while we want to eat more fruit and veg and things we know are good for us, we sometimes fall short because we’re not sure how to turn all that great produce into great food. Well, welcome to the Happy Pear way of eating – healthy but never worthy, easy but never dull, and packed with mind-blowing flavour, exciting texture and vibrant colour. The Happy Pear opened ten years ago when twins David and Stephen Flynn, passionate about starting a food revolution in their home town, took over their local fruit and veg shop and later opened a cafe.

    Their revolution has not only succeeded, but it is spreading, and The Happy Pear’s fans range from young parents to pensioners, ladies-who-lunch to teens-on-the-run, Electric Picnickers to Hollywood stars. David and Stephen’s first cookbook is full of irresistible recipes for everything from everyday breakfasts, lunches and dinners, to scrumptious – and yes, still wholesome! – cakes and sweet treats, to special occasion splurges. David and Stephen also tell their story (how they transformed from jocks to hippies before finally finding their groove), share their top tips for maximizing taste and goodness in food, and explain how they’ve succeeded in building a food business based on flavour, health and community

    Maya Angelou’s seven volumes of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer. Loving the world, she also knows its cruelty. As a Black woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also hope, joy, achievement and celebration.

    In this first volume of her six books of autobiography, Maya Angelou beautifully evokes her childhood with her grandmother in the American south of the 1930s. She learns the power of the white folks at the other end of town and suffers the terrible trauma of rape by her mother’s lover. ‘I write about being a Black American woman, however, I am always talking about what it’s like to be a human being.

    This is how we are, what makes us laugh, and this is how we fall and how we somehow, amazingly, stand up again’ Maya Angelou
