"Ireland lies like a jewel amid the roaring ocean. Its wild mountains and treacherous peat bogs have a strange beauty all their own, which calls the visitor back time and again. The grandeur of the coast of Kerry and Connemara is set to perfection against the crashing surf and the mountain backdrop. These same mountains ring the inland plateau which typifies everyone's view of the Emerald Isle. The land where Cu Chulainn fought the warriors of the Queen of Connaught when he was just seventeen can be visited and walked over. It is a land where the atmosphere is of a time when life moved at a more sedate pace. The glorious collection of full-color photographs in this book manages to capture the essential atmosphere of the country, its people and culture."
