Blarney Castle, the medieval home of the MacCarthy lords of Muskerry, is one of Ireland's best-known castles. Many visitors to Ireland include a trip to the castle in their itinerary, often lining up to kiss the Blarney Stone in hope of acquiring the 'gift of the gab.' Yet despite the castle's ubiquitous image on postcards and tourist promotional literature, there is little acknowledgment of the building's historical and archaeological significance as a native lordly residence. This book brings the castle's architecture to the fore, placing it in the context of an expansive native lordship in late medieval Munster, and showing how changes in the layout and appearance of the building can be attributed to the castle's occupants, who continued to redefine their social standing and cultural identity through the Tudor reconquest and beyond.

Download The Irish Garden Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Visit over forty of Ireland's most beautiful gardens without moving from your armchair with this stunning book, ranging from the grand old demesnes of the Anglo-Irish ascendancy to the intensely personal creations of passionate plantsmen and garden makers. Visitors to Ireland are often surprised at the 'palm trees' that make so many gardens look as if they belong in a holiday postcard. How can such exotics survive on an island that is as far north as the prairies of Canada and the pine forests of Siberia? The answer lies in the tail of the Gulf Stream - the North Atlantic Drift - which wraps around this green land on the western edge of Europe. Its warm and watery embrace bestows the renowned 'soft' climate that allows those palm trees (in fact, New Zealand cordylines) to make their homes here - along with tree ferns from Australia and bananas from Japan. Plants from colder regions, including rhododendrons, primulas and all manner of alpines, are equally happy. So, with a range of plants that runs from the subtropical to the subarctic, and a landscape that varies from gently pastoral to savagely rugged, the aptly named Emerald Isle has some of the most romantic and interesting gardens in the world. The result of a lifetime visiting, considering and writing about gardens in Ireland, and several years of dedicated photography, this is a truly comprehensive exploration of a fascinating subject.

A struggling writer, an enigmatic shop clerk, an old sewing machine and an inspirational journey of discovery - where every dress is more than it appears to be. Charlotte "Charlie" Hudson is a thirty-something underachiever, at least according to her over-achieving sister, Evelyn. When their mother dies unexpectedly, Evelyn pressures Charlie into moving back into the old family home to clear it out and prepare it for sale. Charlie's mom had always been supportive, in more ways than one, of Charlie's passion for being a writer, a passion that took her through graduate school and onto a non-existent career. Evelyn graduated from law school, clearing the way for her to a career as a well-regarded litigator. So, it seemed natural for Charlie to move in and look after their mother's affairs. When she discovers a dusty, old sewing machine and boxes filled with sewing-related items Charlie has never seen before in the basement, hidden among the detritus that makes up a life, Charlie embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Aided and abetted by Al, the fabric whisperer/sales clerk, Charlie learns not only about the fine art of sewing dresses, but also the fine art of understanding families, and way more about her mother than she ever dreamed she didn't already know - one dress at a time. Along the way, Charlie begins to see herself and her life in unexpected ways. With an old sewing machine as her guide, Charlie takes us on an "Eat, Pray Love" kind of journey for the rest of us without ever having to leave home. Join Charlie and Al on their inspirational journey of discovery where every dress is more than it appears to be
