What a tour!!
Ireland as you've rarely seen it any other time. The tour is great as all the story tellers amplify the prime character. How true that the neighbors know more about you than you ever knew yourself.... The flow draws one in and keeps one reading. Enjoy !!

Learning Irish History was a breeze
Delaney's use of oral history by an itinerant storyteller took a lot of the confusion out of my meagre store of knowledge. The story line is wonderful. I bought two copies and sent them to my family members - one who loves Ireland (born on March 17) more than I do, and the other to a 12-year-old Irish dancer. Now she has the beginning to her own library of Irish lore. I even started reading James Joyce. Now, that's remarkable.

Good history lesson
This book was enjoyable even though it is long and parts are a little slow. It was rich in descriptions and full of Irish history. I look forward to visiting someday.

Readable Irish History
This book is is a history lesson couched as a good read. The travelling storyteller presents vignettes of significant points in the history of the green isle. By presenting the history from a personal point of view, he brings to life the characters and the times.
