About This Book

A witty travelogue that follows an English narrator on a tour across Ireland, moving through Dublin, Galway, Connemara, Clifden, Kylemore, Limerick, Killarney, Glengarriff, Cork and Blarney. It blends lively landscape description and humorous personal anecdotes with sketches of local characters, customs and the practical trials of travel, while occasionally addressing the lingering effects of the recent famine. Chapters alternate light-hearted undergraduate reminiscence, detailed impressions of scenery and candid social observation, producing an amiable, conversational record of country, coast and civic life.
