A SONG OF SIXPENCE

Cronin is back at his best!
A stirring cronicle, set in Scotland, of Laurence Carrol as he grows from childhood to adult years. The tale of his struggles - early ilness, a widowed mother, poverty, the uncles who try to help him, and the women who have such an unhappy effect upon him, is told with warm humour and with that intense and sympathetic realism for which the author is internationally loved.
