Paddy the Cope (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781417997398)

Paddy The Cope is a book written by Patrick Gallagher that tells the story of a man named Paddy Gallagher and his life in the early 20th century in Ireland. Paddy Gallagher was known as ""The Cope"" because he owned a shop that sold everything from groceries to farming equipment, and he was always willing to help his customers in any way he could. The book details Paddy's struggles and triumphs as he navigates the challenges of running a business in a small town, dealing with the political and social issues of the time, and raising a family. Paddy's story is set against the backdrop of the Irish War of Independence and the subsequent Civil War, which had a profound impact on his life and the lives of those around him. Throughout the book, Gallagher paints a vivid picture of life in rural Ireland in the early 20th century, with its customs, traditions, and challenges. He also explores themes of family, community, and resilience, as Paddy and his family face adversity and come together to support each other. Overall, Paddy The Cope is a moving and insightful portrait of a man and a community, and a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
