      About This Book

      Plagued by his anarchic mother, tormented by his sister, abused by his brain-damaged brother, and generally driven to despair by everyone, Frankie Griffin, the Last of the High Kings of Tara, is going to embark on a coming-of-age story with a difference... Set during the summer of punk in Howth, a small fishing town in North Country Dublin, the riotously funny The Last of the High Kings tells Frankie's story as he tries to deal with his eccentric family and come to terms with his life. The Last of the High Kings was made into a Hollywood movie starring Gabriel Byrne, Jared Leto, Stephen Rea and Christina Ricci in 1996. First published in 1991, New Island's Modern Irish Classics series brings this hilarious novel to a new generation of readers.
