Six writers - Bernard Loughlin, Colm Toibin, Michael Finlan, Rosita Boland, George O'Brien and Sean Dunne - have combined to produce a book which offers both a guide to the sites and sights of Ireland and a collection of photographs of its monuments and moods. Each of the contributors takes readers on a tour of one region, illuminating the landscape, the towns, the coastline, the rivers and the lochs. They introduce the history and the mystery, the heroes of hurling and the poets, and the life of the Ireland of today as it reflects the past.
