Francie O'Sullivan, from the Irish family we first met in The Cottage
at Bantry Bay has had a successful operation in a Dublin hospital, but
longs to return to his beloved family in County Cork. He heads out the
hospital door, no permission asked, and finds a train-won't any train
do? Francie finds himself making a speedy tour (in the opposite
direction from home) around the Emerald Isle, a journey full of
adventure, laughter, and endearing friendships for Francie and the
reader.
        Illustrated by the author.
