Part and parcel of a large and boisterous family, he is pushed around the streets of Dublin by his brothers; the small crippled occupant of a boxcar, silently witnessing the city's joys and woes. Tormented yet calm, he is the detached observer of life in the slums of forties and fifties, Dublin.

Written with the fearless discipline that Christy Brown had to establish over his own body, Down all the Days displays his lyrical gifts for language and insight to the full.

Written 13 years after his first autobiography, My Left Foot, this is an autobiographical novel, set in Dublin during the '40s and '50s. The author, who died in 1981, was born a spastic and for the first six years of his life could not walk, talk nor control any of his limbs.
