Böcker av Jo Kerrigan

A book on the Grand Canal which crosses Ireland from east to west, from Dublin to the Shannon, and from its first opening made it possible for people and freight to travel smoothly and (for the time) swiftly from one side of the country to the other.

Ireland is an island nation, inextricably linked with and dependent upon the sea which surrounds us. Let Jo Kerrigan's tales and Richard Mills' evocative photographs transport you to the coast to rediscover the stories and legends gathered over the centuries by its communities.

Celtic Ireland was a land of tribes and warriors; but a sophisticated & enlightened legal system was widely accepted. The brehons were the keepers of these laws, which dealt with every aspect of life: land disputes; theft or violence; marriage & divorce; the care of trees & animals.

A thoughtful, deeply felt invitation to sample the splendours of West Cork for local and visitor alike.

Today's Ireland has never lost the link with its pagan past, never forgotten the old ways. This book reveals the hidden world of pagan Ireland, showing it still exists among the people and in the landscape where it belongs.
