Me Jewel and Darlin' Dublin
Éamonn MacThomáis

Full of historical facts, anecdotes and Dublin wit, this book evokes the spirit, the characters and colours, the sights, sounds and even the smells of old Dublin. With sections on markets, pawn shops, street characters, the Liberties, slang and wit of Dublin's newspapers, the city's history is traced right back to Brian Boru, the Huguenots, the 'debtors' prison', and Dublin's troubled history of risings and revolutions.

Reviews:
As a person from Dublin, I can tell you now this is the best book I've read about my great city. I highly recommend this book to anyone taking a trip to Dublin. It may be a little dated, but the information and accessibility is phenomenal. Beautiful book.
