Connemara : A Little Gaelic Kingdom

The triumphant conclusion to Tim Robinson's extraordinary Connemara trilogy, which Robert Macfarlane has called "one of the most remarkable non-fiction projects undertaken in English".

Robinson writes about the people, places and history of south Connemara—one of Ireland's last Gaelic-speaking enclaves—with the encyclopaedic knowledge of a cartographer and the grace of a born writer. Praised as "one of contemporary Ireland's finest literary stylists" by Joseph O'Connor, "one of the finest of contemporary prose stylists" by John Burnside, and "simply one of the best non-fiction prose writers currently at work" by Fintan O'Toole, Robinson brings scientific rigour and artistic reverie together in a seamless blend that both informs and delights.

This is a publishing event and the conclusion of one of the great literary projects of our time. As the Sunday Times declared: "A masterpiece of travel and topographical writing, and an incomparable and enthralling meditation on times past... This perfectly pitched work opens readers up to the world around them." A book that will leave you with indelible mental images of places you may never have visited but will now never forget.
