The author's passion for the natural world shines through in the naming of grasses and the pleasures of blackberry and mushroom picking. The growing up years of World War II were exciting times, from military aircraft spotting to turf cutting. Joyful days of drawing in the School of Architecture are remembered and memories of young love are indelible. The lure of the sport of mountain climbing was tempered by the death of friends in the high Alps. Stories of long cycle trips are richly recalled with tales of elation and suffering, the first time in Paris, grape picking in France and hedonistic wild swimming in the warm Mediterranean. The changing relationship with his father ebbs and flows throughout the narrative.
Above all, Here Comes the Mountainy Men is a charming, poignant and exquisitely written memoir about growing up in Ireland in the mid-twentieth century.
