From which book is 'Tis the opening or closing word of?

[moody]

This is a question from a quiz and it has been driving me crazy! The question is simply... Which Book? 'Tis. All the other questions in that round relate to opening or closing lines in books. No matter how hard I have tried I just cannot find the answer to this. Now it is bugging me so much it has taken over my life! Help! Please!

I don't know if it helps but I think Tis' was the title of Frank McCourt's second volume of memoirs (after Angela's Ashes).

Second last chapter of Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes ends Isn't this a great country altogether? The last chapter consists of one word only - 'Tis. And that also became the title of the sequel.

Thank you ahart and RCP! Having researched this question I had already found out about the sequel to Angela's Ashes called 'Tis. I followed this up and found reviews of the two books. One review relating to 'Tis gave a clue that the answer to my question may have been Angela's Ashes but I couldn't confirm it. My next step would have been to go to a bookshop and look at the book myself. Thanks for saving me the trouble guys!
