The Irish Way: A Walk Through Ireland's Past and Present

Ginna writes in a way that makes you feel like you are walking with him through the heart of Ireland, keeping true to his journal format. It was interesting to hear him discuss the history of a location and then follow with a current description. Certainly not an action packed book, but definitely an interesting read.

This is the perfect gift book for anyone who loves traveling in Ireland, who loves Irish history, or who wants to know what Ireland is like. Robert Ginna walked from one end of the island to the other and he tells about a journey through green fields, dark pubs, and places steeped in history all along the way. You can tell he has spent a lifetime of nosing around Ireland and a real love for the place comes through his writing. Ginna shows how Ireland is changing today but how the past lies close to the surface everywhere. If you can't walk across Ireland yourself this book is the next best thing.
