Reviews
This is the perfect companion for the discriminating traveler to Ireland. It provides a concise history of the island and a gazetteer of historic sites, organized by counties from east to west for ease of use. The author has chosen to present "historical accuracy . . . over romantic fiction, no matter how endearing." He has written "a book about Ireland's solid accomplishments, in the literal sense . . . . Irish history can best be measured by these physical relics of its troubled past." "Intelligent" is an apt label for a useful guide to a country rich beyond measure in history and beauty. And not least among its beauties is the Irish love of language and conversation: "nowhere . . . is the spoken language more deftly and lovingly handled. The Irish worship words. As a stranger, you are . . . welcome to join in the celebration." Crowl is the author of companion guides to historic Britain ( LJ 2/1/83) and Scotland ( LJ 7/86). Highly recommended.
