At the Edge of Ireland

<p>In recent years Ireland has enjoyed a newfound prosperity as Europe's most affluent nation. But tucked away in a far corner of the so-called Celtic Tiger that other enduring and authentic country--that small hidden place of simple magic and romance--still exists. Acclaimed travel writer David Yeadon and his wife Anne set out to find it.</p><p>On the Beara Peninsula of southwest Ireland the Yeadons discovered their own little lost world an enticing Brigadoon of soaring mountain ranges and spectacular coastal scenery far removed from the touristic hullabaloo of Dublin Killarney and the Ring of Kerry. Here is the fabled Old Ireland alive and well with music <em>seisuins</em> hooley dances and <em>seanachai</em> storytellers--a haven for searchers healers artists and poets hardy enough to have braved the same narrow and winding mountain roads that keep the package-tour coaches out.</p><p>Bursting with color and life <em>At the Edge of Ireland</em> is an intrepid wanderer's celebration of a magical unspoiled and unforgettable Éire. </p>
