Close the Wicket Gate: Tales from the Kilmichael Bar

'Fascinating reading a trip down memory lane and a very enjoyable journey.""-Alice Taylor. Set around the Kilmichael Bar, and told with a loving mixture of laughter and tears, O'Mahony Walters recounts charming tales of ordinary people living extraordinary lives in bygone days. The rascal, the teacher, the farmer, the sporting hero - people who make up the backbone of society. Life might have appeared sleepy on the outside, but a day never passed without some excitement. This is the story of a west Cork town but it could be any town. The author grew up in a busy pub where the customers and neighbours were part of the extended family and she describes a time and a way of life that many of us will remember fondly.
