      The first book in the Agnes Browne trilogy Now a film starring Anjelica Huston and Tom Jones 'And what was the cause of death?' 'A Hunter', Agnes said. 'Was he shot', the girl asked incredulously, 'was your husband shot?' 'By who?' Agnes asked this question as if the girl had found out something about her husband's death that she didn't know herself. Then a look of realisation came into her face. 'No! A Hillman Hunter, he was knocked down by a Hillman Hunter!' Agnes Browne is a widow of only a few hours when she goes to the Social Welfare Office. Living in James Larkin Flats, with Redsers' legacy - seven little Brownes - to support on the income from her Moore Street stall, she can't afford to miss a day's pension. Life is like that for Agnes and her best pal Marion. But they still have time for a laugh and a jar, and Agnes even has a dream - that one day she will dance with Cliff Richard. THE MAMMY describes the life and times, the joys and sorrows of Agnes, hero of the BAFTA-nominated TV series Mrs. Browne's Boys. A book of hilarious incidents, glorious characters, and a passion for life, it is written with a sure touch and great ear for dialogue. With a new introduction by the author, Brendan O'Carroll.
