****Romantic Irish Landscapes*

Reviewed March 9, 2002.
Abbeville Press, 1998. 160 pages.

This is a half-size coffee table book. When I saw it in the Daedalus Books (www.salebooks.com) catalog for $10 (List price is $27.50.), I couldn’t resist.

I was not disappointed. The pictures of Ireland are fabulous. The text added interest. The author tells about the legends and history behind the famous landmarks pictured. I was delighted to see that my seven-year-old son is also reading through it, in memory of our wonderful trip last summer. This book is a bargain for anyone who’s fallen in love with Ireland or who dreams of visiting it some day.
