HEAR SAMPLE

Read by the Author.

'Angela’s Ashes', Frank McCourt’s critically acclaimed, lyrical memoir of his Irish childhood, won the Pulitzer Prize and has been a worldwide bestseller for over two years. It left readers and critics alike eager to hear more about his poignant life.

'’Tis' is that story, of Frank’s American journey from impoverished immigrant with rotten teeth , infected eyes and no formal education, to brilliant raconteur and schoolteacher. Saved first by a straying priest, then by the Democratic part, the United States Army and New York University, Frank had the same vulnerable but invincible spirit at nineteen that he had at eight and still has today.

'’Tis' is a tale of survival as vivid, harrowing and often hilarious as 'Angela’s Ashes'.

“Frank McCourt’s reading of 'Angela’s Ashes' on audio is the best reason I can think of for taking a long car journey.”
