As a young man, Stephen Gwynn travelled through Counties Donegal and Antrim on a bicycle, enabling him to take a close-up view of the townlands, rivers, lakes and historic sites he visited. This is his account of his trip through Donegal. His loving interest in its history brings this accounts to life, revealing as it does, the hidden stories and associations behind the evocative exterior of the land. We get an account of ancient Gaelic Ireland: its holy places and its warriors - the O'Donnells and O'Neills. We hear of their tragic demise and the confiscation of the land they had to abandon. Though this book was written over a hundred years ago, the old Ireland he wrote of has left a lasting impression on the landscape, though it is fast fading. A reader who shares his passion for fishing and cycling will gain the additional pleasure of reliving these experiences as they were over one hundred years ago.

Richard Hayward made a massive contribution to the cultural life of Ireland. He promoted and acted with the Ulster Literary Theatre and worked with Tyrone Guthrie as one of the first artists in broadcasting. He did much to revive the interest in Irish songs, anticipating the great revival in traditional ballads and airs of the 1960s and 70s. His films included 'The Voice of Ireland', 'The Luck of the Irish'and a cameo appearance in 'The Quiet Man'. His travel writings embrace the whole of Ireland and remain relevant today. This is apparent in his interest in local history and archaeology and also his enthusiasm and respect for the Irish language, place names, folklore and dialects. None of this he found incompatible with his interest in Orangeism and his membership of the Orange order, thus placing him in the long tradition of Irishmen who could love and respect their county, without denigrating the traditions of others.

This is an important source for historians of 19th century Ireland, and is of particular interest to those exploring local history and their family background. Asking the question, 'is Ireland an improving Country?' Inglis travelled the country meeting landlords and tenants, drawing upon his background in commerce to observe the realities of everyday life. He offers insights into the conditions that prevailed after Catholic emancipation in the period between the European Napoleonic Wars and the Great Famine, and the religious attitudes and tensions that have divided Ireland over the centuries. His analysis informed much of the debate about Ireland in the Westminster House of Commons, during parliamentary debates in 1835. His observations clearly reflect his own attitudes and beliefs. Yet, they are grounded in what he observed first-hand making this books a very significant resource for genealogists and family and local historians. Index and footnotes added.

Researching the topic for Pat Nolan was a labour of love as it involved chatting with men who fished on those iconic vessels of another era. Previously, in 'Sea Change' Pat had written on the BIM 50-footer and its impact on coastal Ireland of the 1950s and '60s. The story of the BIM 56-footers naturally followed on from this. The book contains details on each boat, and recollections of individuals who owned and/or fished on them. Part I is based on comments, observations, experiences and memories relevant to the 56-footers. Part II is made up of individually traced histories of all thirty-nine BIM 56-footers built. Part III is made up of interesting lifetime maritime experiences of men Pat met on the way.
