This is a superbly illustrated, irreverent, but always informative journey through Ireland - its people, places, culture, and more! Ireland is a relatively small country, but it has influenced the world in a big way. The Irish people, and their food, drink, music, and literature have travelled the world and been welcomed in cultures everywhere. From learning about An Gorta Mor, the Great Famine, and kissing the Blarney Stone to reading Yeats and zigzagging down Irish roads after a few Guinnesses, this is both a primer on, and tribute to, Ireland's history, personalities, and culture that is certain to please anyone with a place in their hearts for the Emerald Isle. To be sure!
