Description
Eric Dempsey is mad about birds. In fact, they've changed his whole life. Having once been gainfully employed by a semi-state company in a secure, pensionable job, he gave it all up dedicate his life to birdwatching. In this remarkable memoir, Eric tells us of his love of nature from his earliest days and how it has influenced him throughout his life, inspiring many adventures, including trips around the world; in doing so, he provides a snapshot of growing up in Dublin in the 1960s and 70s. Peppered with stories that are both hilarious and poignant, such as instructing his parents not to die in autumn (it's the best time for birdwatching) and going on safari to fulfil the dream of a friend who'd passed on, this book will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. Most of all, Eric's story is one of following the road less travelled, and reveals a life all the more rewarding for doing so.
