4.0 out of 5 stars Of fairytales and Pogue Mahon, December 19, 2007

By	Jack Farmer (Vermont) - See all my reviews

Those familiar with the hard charging sound of the trad-punk band The Pogues will find this book has a familiar ring. The Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan used the novel as a basis for his song "A fairytale of New York". While the thread of the story is similar throughout the book and the song, the song changes circumstances and specifics to attain it's rythyms.

"A fairytale of New York" has been voted the best Christmas song in The UK several times.
