From the back cover:
"In A Star Called Henry, his most enchanting and prodigious novel to date, Roddy Doyle introduces Henry Smart. Born in a small, mean room at the beginning of the twentieth century, prococious Henry transforms himself into a larger-than-life figure. From the courtship of his young mother and one-legged father to his own celebrated birth, from his childhood on the streets of Dublin to his role as soldier (and lover) in the Irish Rebellion, Henry recounts his early years of reckless heroism and adventure. At once an epic, a love story, and a portait of Irish history, A Star Called Henry is a grand picaresque novel brimming with comic moments and poignant ones."
