Breakfast The Night Before: Recollections of an Irish Horse Dealer

A lovely memoir for lovers of horses and of the farming life. Marjorie Quarton gives a personal view of rural Irish life from the 1930s to the 1970s, describing the upbringing of a Protestant only child on a farm in north Tipperary. Taking over on her father's death, working the land and animals (dogs, sheep, horses, cattle), she recounts with great humor and poignancy her dealings at fairs throughout the country, a lone woman in a man's world.
