Bob was a Protestant Horse Summary
|
A young boy goes on holiday to Ulster and comes back determined to join the IRA and to drive the British out of Ireland.
Hilarious, real stories of a ludicrous situation. This book is with love for the people of Northern Ireland –a fighting race who never won a battle of their own, but can all tell you what happened on the Boyne in 1690, a race of politicians who cannot govern themselves, a pious race excelling in blasphemy, who sing of love and practice fratricide, who can love you individually but will hate you collectively, who look forward through a rear view mirror and who will never surrender to anybody. Of course I didn’t know that when I first visited the farm where I met Bob the Protestant horse and Jim the Catholic horse, they never worked together in perfect harmony when they were forced to work, they did so, though Jim would require the odd switch from a stick to keep his mind on the job. I don’t think any of the other animals on the farm had a stated religion, though I suppose the ducks might have been Baptists. About the Author: Michael McDonald could be said to have started the troubles in Ireland back in 1968 when he was one of the stewards on the first Civil Rights march. At the time he was a teacher in Andersonstown, the most republican part of Belfast. This book describes his first vist to Ireland as a young boy. |
