  • More about A Zither in the Pantry


A Zither in the Pantry is a collection of short stories written with humour by an 11-year-old child, offering a social commentary on working class life in the 40s and early 50s.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 250 pages
Publication date: 10 April 2024
Publisher: Cinnamon Press


Miss Jean Kevitt's childhood in a small terraced house on Minto Street with her five siblings was marked by chaos, fun-loving, and a love for games and music. Her dad, a clarinettist in a band, played the Third Programme loudly when he wasn't practicing. The family had a variety of instruments, but Jean and her sister Chris particularly fought over the zither, which they assumed every house had. The zither, a beautiful object sitting among the mundane mess in the pantry, mirrored the loveliness of their life amidst the clutter at 66 Minto Street. A Zither in the Pantry is not a typical memoir, but rather a collection of short stories written with humor by this 11-year-old child. It also serves as a social commentary on working class life in the 40s and early 50s.
