For 20 years Paul Clements has been tapping into the Burren’s hidden crevices, drawn to its history, mystery and peculiarities. He writes absorbingly about the rocks, hills and walls, and the range of colours, the animals he rubs shoulders with, and about subjects which excite him, such as the exotic wild flowers, ancient ruins, early morning birdsong, and the smell of whiskey in historic pubs. A hunter and gatherer of information and lore on the Burren, the author ferrets out little-known facts and weaves them together to create these carefully distilled essays.

'Told in an easy-going style interspersed with Clement's own observations and anecdotes in what is an affectionate tribute to this area. It is as much a personal tribute to the Burren as a study of it.' Books Ireland 'Clements celebrates the often disparate elements that create a landscape and give its unique, indefinable feel - what is good about Clements' book is that he reminds us that one of the world's great landscapes lies not oceans away but on our doorstep'.
