'Song for a Poor Boy' is the singular story - comical, surreal and moving - of a 1930s Cork childhood. Growing up in an era of poverty and intolerance, Galvin tells of tenement sing-songs, marching Blueshirts, and his parents' bittersweet marriage. 'Song for a Raggy Boy' is the harrowing yet at times humorous survivor's account of his three years detention in a State reformatory. 'Song for a Flyboy', which completes this stunning trilogy, covers his life during the war years. To be released as a major motion picture in the UK in September 2003, starring Aidan Quinn.
