For those lucky enough, the ritual and romance of going to the cinema is a magical part of growing up. The total experience, the sights and sounds can stay in the memory for a long time. A good film is a good story well told. Now it can be told, even as the line between celluloid image and rural reality becomes blurred. This book is a fond tribute to a great cinema in the heart of Tipperary's Lake District. It's a mix of history, nostalgia and social commentary, with a bit of fiction thrown in for a finale. Although specific to the location, this work will strike a chord with anyone who loved 'the pictures' as a child. Written for fun from a young lad's perspective, it's a happy book given that the author had a marvellous time growing up in small town Ireland in the fifties and sixties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907221170\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Note:\u003c\/b\u003e Signed by the author and dedicated to the previous recipient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39569430773912,"sku":"Q9-DPQA-AM3X","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/products\/51QX6OowV1L.jpg?v=1617273434","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/stella-days-the-life-and-times-of-a-rural-irish-cinema","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
