Two Months at Kilkee
by Mary John Knott
CLASP Press, 1997, Hardback, ISBN: 1 900545 02 0,
Price: €15.00 (Fascimile Reprint)
This is a fascinating early account of
an emerging holiday resort and its environs first published in 1836, allowing
the reader to journey back in time to a Gaelic-speaking West of Ireland
still unravaged by the Great Famine, where the simple, but hard life of
the common people is presented with sympathy and insight. This book is
in effect a travel companion to West Clare, including descriptions of
Loop Head, Miltown Malbay, Lahinch, Cliffs of Moher, the Shannon River
and Limerick.
