Items related to Ireland's Islands
Synopsis
The islands of Ireland are scattered like jewels around the Emerald Isle, and this book celebrates them in all their rough-hewn beauty and diversity. While it is said there are as many islands around the coast of Ireland as there are days of the year, 'Ireland's Islands' considers 19 major islands, or island groups - from around the entire coastline - in terms of their most significant characteristics. These could be their history, the legends surrounding them, their areas of outstanding natural beauty, their flora and fauna, their towns and villages, or - in the majority of cases - combinations of all of these.

From the Publisher
An in-depth and stunningly illustrated celebration of the history and present-day culture of 20 of the islands that surround Ireland. Lavish full-color photographs depict the islands' history, legends, villages and natural beauty. Together with an insightful text, they tell the fascinating story of these often remote rocky outcrops, and of the small communities that have managed to sustain a living on them.
About the Author
Peter Somerville-Large, author of the best-selling 'Irish Country Houses', writes with verve and accuracy on the history, customs, ancient remains, and legends of some of Ireland's most fascinating sea islands. Having spent much of his boyhood on a small island in the Kenmare River, his first-hand knowledge of the realities of island living brings an authentic flavour to his texts. No stranger to Irish themes, he has written 'Legendary Ireland', 'Irish Eccentrics' and 'Literary Ireland', as well as numerous articles on travel in Ireland and around the world. His 'Irish Voices', a social history of Ireland during the early years of this century, was published by Chatto & Windus in 1999. He lives in Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny.
