SummaryTable of Contents
The Burren in County Clare is slow to give up its secrets. For years Paul Clements has been drawn to its history, mystery, and peculiarities. Here he writes absorbingly about the rocks, hills, and walls; the colors, the animals, and subjects that excite him such as the exotic wild flowers, ancient ruins, early morning birdsong, and whiskey smells in historic pubs. A seeker of information and lore on the Burren, the author ferrets out little known facts and weaves them together. Burren Country is infused with warmth and wit, featuring the ordinary and the extraordinary aspects of this remarkable landscape.
