Summary: The Victorian house that loomed in the suburbs of Clontarf was the Children's Orthopaedic Hospital. With most of the children bedridden, they amused themselves with shadow plays, fairy tales and their books. For some, Sundays were the best days as parents arrived with tales from home, and for others, it was just another day of the week.
