In its landscape, history and folklore, Connemara is a singular region - ill-defined geographically, and yet unmistakably a place apart from the rest of Ireland. Tim Robinson, who established himself as Ireland's most brilliant living non-fiction writer with the two-volume Stones of Aran, moved from Aran to Connemara nearly twenty years ago.

Tim Robinson's entire project keeps an ear to the ground, listening for the pulse of the landscape and reporting back to the rest od us. His maps are a marvel and his essays, the ones in this book included, not only teach us all there is to know about his immediate surroundings but show us a whole new way of understanding whatever place we find ourselves in.
