Böcker av Paul Mulligan

The Ordnance Survey maps of Ireland have been a touchstone for historians, geographers and local historians alike in the 200 years since the organization was founded.

Being born in Africa and in a war zone meant Paul was always going to have a story to tell. And the stories kept coming from four continents. Open to adventure? Of course! Sí Se Puede. 'Yes you can'.

These are Paul's adventures. Hold on tight...
