Why this book? I wasn’t really prompted to write
it, it just sort of happened. I say that because when I first started
writing over twenty years ago, I didn't realize until much later that
many of my stories were about Cabbagetown. Unconsciously, I believe I
had a love affair with this district.
I urge you to read the forward as the gentleman
who wrote it, sensed in me something of which I was not fully aware. I
do go back to Cabbagetown, frequently, I have for years. I walk those
hallowed streets and inhale deeply of the laughter and sounds of
children at play those days of yesteryear. They delight me, and tickle
those delicious memories, causing my ageing heart to beat a little
stronger, as if it too enjoyed the magic of the moment.
So please, do join me, and let me take you back
to those halcyon days of my childhood.
-- Joseph P. Kearney
