The Apprentice

by Eamon Kelly

This is the autobiography of actor, storyteller and seanchai, Eamon Kelly. It takes its title from the fact that the young Kelly was apprenticed to his father, a wheelwright and master craftsman. The book recreates an area, the Sliabh Luachra area east of Killarney, a family life and a culture that co-existed with dramatic political World War I, the War of Independence and the Civil War. It also provides a glimpse into the mind and emotions of a gifted artist, as he grew to maturity.
