About this ebook

The Chisellers is the second book in Brendan O’Carroll’s famous ‘Mrs Browne’ trilogy, the inspiration for the hugely successful TV series, Mrs Brown’s Boys. Agnes Browne and her seven ‘chisellers’ take on the world ... and win! It’s three years since Redser’s death and Agnes Browne soldiers on, being mother, father and referee to her fighting family of seven. Helped out financially by her eldest, and hormonally by the amorous Pierre, Agnes copes with family tragedy, success and the move from The Jarro to the ‘wilds of the country’ – suburban Finglas. vAnd when the family’s dreams are threatened by an unscrupulous gangster, he learns a costly lesson: don’t mess with the children of Agnes Browne. A heroic, comic saga brimming over with the raw humour of the Dublin streets.
