IRELAND: Mythical, Magical, Mystical: A Guide to Hidden Ireland by Christy Nicholas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ireland is a place I have never yet had the privilege to visit, but I think I have been partial to this country since I was a child. I have some heritage in that country, and I always found it such a beautiful, intriguing country. I even did a report on it in elementary school when we had to research Christmas traditions from another country. I remember making the case to my teacher that since Irish Gaelic is a different language, this was an acceptable country. (we had to say “Merry Christmas” in another language, and all I remember is that it took six words to say it in Irish Gaelic.)

This book captures the essence of this gorgeous and historic country. The author covers it all from history, legend, photography, and the sights you want to see. She advises you on the logistics of getting around in Ireland, and she peppers her book with breathtaking photos (don’t settle for black and white kindle pictures–get this in color)and anecdotes that most traditional travel guides won’t give you. It is clear that the author loves Ireland, and she conveys this message in a glorious way to her readers. She has included a section in the back for resources, and I have filed this book away for the day when I make it to the Emerald Isle.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
