Review:
Like going on a tour with a friend who combines a historian's meticulous scholarship with an ability to tell a gossipy anecdote with wit and point CATHOLIC HERALD Manages to fit in just about everything... A formidable feat, and the more so for being consistently readable, and frequently entertaining... An admirably comprehensive piece of work, to be recommended to anyone contemplating a visit. THE TIMES As well as being a practical guide it's an exhilarating read... It is a delightful thing: anybody contemplating crossing to Ireland for pleasure shouldn't think of going without consulting it. OBSERVER He writes agreeably and well, he loves the past, and he sees the Anglo-Irish past as clearly as the Old Irish past which preceded it and he sees the buildings and scenery with the same imaginative eye. SUNDAY TIMES He brings vast knowledge, a rare feeling for history and a very genuine love of Ireland to this book... a must. CORK EXAMINER
