Description
|
|
|
|
Tucked away in a far corner of the so-called "Celtic Tiger," the enduring and authentic Ireland of our imaginations—the small, hidden place of simple magic and romance—still exists, and David Yeadon—bestselling author of National Geographic Guide to the World's Secret Places—and his wife set out to find it. On the Beara peninsula of southwest Ireland, the Yeadons discover their own "little lost world," an enticing Brigadoon of soaring mountain ranges and spectacular coastal scenery, far removed from the tourist magnets of Dublin, Killarney, and the Ring of Kerry. Here is the fabled "Old Ireland," alive and well with music seisuins, hooley dances, and seanachai storytellers—a haven for searchers, healers, artists, and poets hardy enough to have braved the same narrow and winding mountain roads that keep away the package-tour coaches. "David Yeadon has crafted a book as lively as a limerick…. Who wouldn't want to join [him] in this rich Celtic stew?"—National Geographic Traveler
