Inisvickillane Local Irish historian Mícheál Ó Dubhshláine has presented a fascinating and detailed portrait of the life of Inisvickillane over centuries: its natural history, folklore, music, and archaeology. Here Mocheallóg Mac Uibhleáin established an early Christian monastery and the island became a place of pilgrimage. Later its ownership came into Norman hands. The author traces the lives of those who inhabited the island, up to and including the ownership of the island by Charles J. Haughey.

Real
Irish Ghost Stories Do you believe in the paranormal – ‘ghosts’ as you might have called them when young? It’s a question that usually meets with a guarded answer but if even we haven’t had a psychic experience ourselves we surely know someone else who has. Paul Fennell, himself a paranormal investigator, has collected reports of ghostly events and visitations from all over Ireland. Most of this book comprises the stories of ordinary people told in their own words. It will surely persuade the skeptical that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in their philosophy.

The
Culchie’s Guide to Dublin A politically incorrect travel guide for country-folk visiting Dublin. The Culchies Guide to Dublin captures many observations about Dublin that are often left unstated, at least when in the polite company of Dubliners. Includes ‘The Most Honest Map of Dublin Ever’ showing all of Dublin’s suburbs, including a rating guide so you know whether you should wear a dress suit or flak jacket when visiting. We’ve also included a chapter on ‘Things That Dubs Should Know But Don’t’ – why they’re called Jackeens and so on. The Culchies Guide is a genuine travel guide with a twist.
