March eBook of the Month offers an Adventure Guide to Ireland
DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 24 February, 2007—Ireland is steeped in history, tradition and culture, making it one of the most popular vacation destinations worldwide. Its story is told in centuries-old castles, stone circles strategically placed to shine in the winter solstice moon, and, of course, in its pubs, where local residents gladly share a pint and a tale.
In the March eBook of the Month, author and Irish native Tina Neylon will open your eyes to the astonishing treasures of Ireland, showing you how to experience this ancient island as a participant, not just a spectator. You’ll join in the pub life of Dublin, meet the people through theater and music groups, visit the lake where St. Patrick first landed in 442 AD, and find some of the finest golf courses in the world.
With all the practical information you need, this guide is a comprehensive introduction to the people, the places, and the culture of Ireland. The best local outfitters are listed, along with contact numbers, addresses and recommendations. You’ll also find background information on history, geography, climate, culture and recommendations for when to go, where to go and how to get there. This very readable guide takes a region-by-region approach, plunging into the very heart of each area and the adventures offered, giving a full range of accommodations, shopping, restaurants and entertainment for every budget.
Adventure Guide Ireland is provided through the generous support of Hunter Publishing, and will be available through more than 14,000 participating libraries March 1-31.
