The Aran Islands are among the most finely wrought land-masses in the western world.

An Aran Reader encompasses folklore, fiction, botany, ethnography and autobiography from a wide variety of writers – from Giraldus Cambrensis to Tim Robinson, James Joyce to Derek Mahon, Liam O’Flaherty to Máirtín Ó Direáin, Lady Gregory to Seamus Heaney.
