Between the Dublin/Wicklow mountains and Dublin Bay, the hinterland of the city of Dublin has grown over the centuries into a rich heritage of inner and outer suburbs, studded with architectural riches from many different eras, and with the most desirable homes in the country. This book provides an account of the geographical, economic and social history of this area, its famous inhabitants, its agricultural development, its methods of transport, its sport and recreational aspects, and most of all its architectural heritage.

Review:
'... a handsomely bound and illustrated labour of love; a very readable cataloguing by Peter Pearson of the history and heritage of a part of greater Dublin -- Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown.' (Kevin Dawson Sunday Business Post)

'Peter Pearson's book about Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown is a loving chronicle of goatherds and butter-makers ... an invaluable record of buildings and monuments past and present in Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown ... the fashionable coffee-table accessory for Dublin southsiders.' (Sophia Grene Irish Times)

'The work is extraordinarily comprehensive and clearly the product of years of research.' Book of the Week, (Noel Sheridan Examiner)
About the Author:
Peter Pearson is an historian, conservationist and noted artist with a lifelong commitment to the protection and enhancement of Ireland's architectural heritage. He has attended demolitions of many great houses, rescuing their decorative period features, in the process amassing a vast body of knowledge on the crafts, social and economic history of places throughout Ireland. He has written and contributed to many books and publications. He initiated the Drimnagh Castle Restoration Project and has worked with An Taisce and the Irish Georgian Society and is a founder member of the Dublin Civic Trust, a member of the Heritage Council and an honorary life member of the Dun Laoghaire Historical Society.

Born in 1955, Peter was educated at Kingstown School and Trinity College Dublin. Peter now lives with his wife and two sons in County Wexford. He has written the bestselling Between the Mountains and the Sea, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County, which details the architectural heritage of the county, and The Heart of Dublin, published in 2000, which charts the origins and planning of Dublin's streetscapes from early times to the present day. His latest book, Decorative Dublin is a beautifully illustrated account of the many decorative elements to be found on Dublin's streets and in its buildings.
