Dinny at the Cliffs of Moher, the Life and Tales of Dinny McMahon

County Clare, IR: Self Published, 1987. First printing. Paperback. 8vo, wraps, near fine, signed on verso of front wrap by McMahon "To Jim." 47 pp. McMahon was a legendary Irishman and busker associated with the Cliffs of Moher, a dramatic landscape in southwest County Clare in the NW of Ireland. A rare book, no copies in OCLC. One visitor online remembers him thusly: "Every time I visit the Cliffs of Moher I remember Dinny. He was a tiny little man of indeterminate age wearing an old gray tweed jacket that had seen a better decade and a battered Irish cap pulled down over his sparkling eyes. The postcards he was selling were yellowing, rain-spattered and curled at the edges but we bought a few anyway for the loose change in our pockets. His stubby fingers grasped a fistful of shillelaghs and he was there in sunshine and in rainstorm." Near Fine. Item #H17484
