Hardcover. Jack Sheehan was one of eleven children born into an impoverished farming family on the Sheep's Head peninsula in southwest Ireland. Growing up in hungry times, he stayed on the farm all his eighty-three years. This book is illustrated with maps and photographs of early documents relating to his farm's history. Illustrator(s): Watson, Ciaran; Gralton, Danny. Num Pages: 244 pages, col. Illustrations. BIC Classification: 1DBR; 3JJ; BG; TV; WND. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 237 x 236 x 24. Weight in Grams: 936 228pp. Purportedly a book about farming and the title would suggest, sheep farming on some isolated farm somewhere in the backs of beyond, (somewhere near San José) this book is a Pandora's box of reading and visual pleasure. It is the story of one Jack Sheehan who lived from 1920 to 2003 on the West Cork peninsula of Sheep's Head, and was a farmer, an archeaologist, a local historian, a naturalist, and, I would imagine, wonderful company. Written by Sean Sheehan his nephew, and illustrated with the superb photographs of Danny Gralton and Ciaran Watson, every single page is full of delight. The book is somewhat akin to a package of peanuts in that once opened you simply cannot put it down and even as these words are being penned, it has been opened several times filled with stories of local history, the seasons of the year, the place names, the ancient monuments, the books read during a life time and, oh aye, farming. It is a social history of twentieth century rural Ireland and an intimate portrait of personal contentment in a world gone mad. For readers today, it is an oasis of common sense
