A Star Called Henry. Roddy Doyle Audio Book (4 Cassettes) Random House (1999)

A STAR CALLED HENRY by Roddy Doyle (Read by the author)

Born in the slums of Dublin in 1901, his father a one-legged whorehouse bouncer and settler of scores, Henry Smart has to grow up fast. By the time he can walk he's out robbing, begging, often cold, always hungry, but a prince of the streets. At fourteen, already six foot two, Henry's in the General Post Office on Easter Monday 1916, a soldier in the Irish citizen Army, fighting for freedom. A year later he's ready to die for Ireland again, a rebel, a Fenian and soon, a killer.

An historical novel like none before it, A STAR CALLED HENRY is a triumphant work of fiction.
