Vanishing Ireland: Friendship and Community: 4 Book

Vanishing Ireland is a unique collection of portrait interviews looking at the dying ways and traditions of Irish life and taking us back to an Ireland virtually unrecognisable to today's post-boom generation.An emotional book illustrated with over 100 evocative and stunning photographs, we meet the people and customs that have shaped the cultural identity of the Irish nation.Through their own words and memories, 64 men and women transport us back to a time when people lived off the land and the sea, when music and storytelling were essential parts of life, when a person was defined by their trade.Divided into five parts - Children of the Field, Children of the Music, Children of the Horse, Children of the Trade and Children of the Water - Vanishing Ireland brings together the stories of those who lived through Ireland's formative years.Read More
