Award-winning travel writer Lawrence Millman tromps through western Ireland's rugged countryside to record the oral history of its people before their hard-earned traditions are permanently stifled by industrialization and development. In doing so he produces a "lovely nugget of good writing" (New York Times) that relays the stories of traditional laborers—tinkers cartwrights, rat-charmers, coopers, thatchers, farriers, gleemen, pig-gelders—with candor and depth.
Lawrence Millman is that rare traveler—a person with guts and a sense of humor. He is also a wonderful writer. -- Paul Theroux, travel writer, novelist, and author of Deep South: Four Seasons on Back Roads
Millman..does eloquent justice to a salty tradition. * Newsweek *
Writing that is altogether finer than anything one has a right to expect. * The Washington Post *
Millman's a genius. -- Annie Dillard
