BRENDAN LEHANE is a writer and journalist, whose family has roots in East Cork.
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.
