Excerpt from Wanderings in Ireland
In the silence and solitudes of the island of Achill you will see tears and hear sobs as you listen to the keening for the dead. Near the island of Clare, Queen Grace o'malley will almost order you away, as she did her husband, and your motor with all its wings out will roll through the grand scenery of the western coast - now down by the ocean and then far up amidst the sombre mountains - Kylemore Castle and quaint Galway.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a travelogue detailing the author's journey through the island of Ireland in the early 20th century. The author, an American, was invited by a friend to tour the country by motorcar, and the pair journeyed in a new Panhard for a month. The author's witty and engaging writing style transforms the travelogue into a delightful social commentary on the culture, traditions, and history of Ireland. The author's Irish companion regales him with tales of Irish kings, druids, and folklore, bringing the country's rich past to life. The author is equally adept at describing the natural beauty of the Irish countryside, from the rolling green hills to the rugged coastlines. This book is a fascinating glimpse into the Ireland of a bygone era, and a charming introduction to the country's unique blend of history, culture, and scenery.
