"There are only two kinds of people in the world‚" according to the old saying‚ "The Irish--and those who wish they were!" And after reading this evocative book you'll likely agree with such sentiments. Despite Ireland's newfound prosperity as "The Celtic Tiger"-- Europe's most affluent nation--there still exists that other enduring and authentic country. It's small‚ hidden and enticing‚ and David Yeadon and his wife Anne found their own "little lost world" here on the Beara Peninsula of Southwest Ireland. Far removed from the touristic hullaballoo of Dublin‚ Killarney and The Ring of Kerry‚ they discovered an enticing Brigadoon of soaring mountain ranges‚ spectacular coastal scenery‚ and roads narrow and winding enough to keep the package-tour coaches out. Here they found all those intrinsic elements of "The Old Ireland‚" in a wild-times craic of music seisuns‚ hooley dances‚ seanachai storytellers‚ and colorful ceili concerts plus a handful of "searchers‚" healers‚ artists‚ writers‚ and poets to give the place a patina of contemporary significance.
