Ireland's Islands - Landscape, Life And Legends

Ireland islands is an in-depth, beautifully illustrated celebration of the history and present-day culture of some of the country's most important islands. The book tours the entire coastline of Ireland, from the still-inhabited Aran islands to the defiant twin needles of granite that make up the Skelligs, home only to enormous colonies of seabirds. Peter Somerville-Large writes with verve and insight on these islands, and the book features specially commissioned photographs by award-winning photographer David Lyons.

This work takes the reader on a journey around 19 major islands or island groups surrounding Ireland's coast. It highlights their history, the legends surrounding them, areas of natural beauty, flora and fauna, their towns and villages, and the communities who manage to make a living from them.
