More than 150 remarkable full-color photographs record a world both familiar and strange, by turns celebratory and spiritual. Here pilgrims walk uphill, barefoot in the rain; turf-cutters and hay-makers work the land; and castles and ruins dot the landscape and the Celtic statues of Irish pre-history observe an island forever tugging at the heartstrings. In chapters that evoke the timeless culture of a land that sent so many of its children far away, Paul Lay's vivid commentary, underwritten by the author's respect for Irish history and literature, provides a lyrical and loving context to the scenes of Irish life and landscape.
