Review: "A Celtic Childhood is a lovely memoir that reads as if you're sitting at the feet of a grandfather full of stories! This book is full of charming vignettes and hilarious antics." --Compass Book Ratings (formerly Squeaky Clean Reads) "Deserves to be read for its own brilliance...laugh-out-loud funny...Watkins' tales make for pure reading pleasure." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "... Will appeal to all people who enjoy music and myths and a wee bit of mischief." --San Antonio News Express "A memoir that will remind some of Angela's Ashes--except this one is laugh-out-loud funny." --St. Paul Pioneer Press "Watkins' work stands out because of the quality of the writing and the underlying humor behind the facts." --Irish Voice "Guaranteed Good Read: As entertaining as Angela's Ashes or your money back!" --HarperCollins Australia
