Connemara : A Little Gaelic Kingdom (Book 3) by Tim Robinson

Description The triumphant conclusion to Tim Robinson’s extraordinary Connemara trilogy, which Robert Macfarlane has called ‘one of the most remarkable non-fiction projects undertaken in English’. Robinson writes about the people, places and history of south Connemara – one of Ireland’s last Gaelic-speaking enclaves – with the encyclopaedic knowledge of a cartographer and the grace of a born writer. ‘He is that rarest of phenomena, a scientist and an artist, and his method is to combine scientific rigour with artistic reverie in a seamless blend that both informs and delights.’ John Banville, Guardian.
