A Celebration of Ireland: An Evocative Tour of the Emerald Isle

Ireland lies on the western edge of the great European land mass, its eastern edge tucked into the largest of the British Isles, its western coast thrusting out into the Atlantic Ocean. It is not a very big island, being a little over 300 miles from to to bottom and about 170 miles at its widest point. Organised into chapters that look at each region within Ireland, A Celebration of Ireland visually expresses the variety of life and nature that makes this island unique - from the quiet land of fields and thatched cottages to the wild places, the strange limestone country of The Burren, to the wind-swept remoteness of the mountain country to the west and the faster pace of Dublin's city life. This book is a voyage of exploration, illustrated with over 600 beautiful photographs that are a true celebration of Ireland in all its many moods and facets. If you have not yet been to Ireland then you are sure to desire a trip after casting your eyes on the wonders and delights that it has to offer.
