In this sequel, Book 2 of the trilogy of illustrated travel journals the author returns to Ireland to live in Dingle in November to experience what life is like for a long stay in the off-season. It's the perfect town-small enough to walk across, large enough to dine in many fine restaurants, open to the sea on a protected harbor, lively enough to host plenty of music-filled pubs. All the while, she paints as she explores the extraordinary landscape, archeological sites, and antiquities then returns to her rented apartment to read Irish history by the fireside. When friends from home visit, adventures abound.
On a return trip, the author searches southwest Cork for clues to her direct maternal ancestry as she lives in a cottage on Roaring Water Bay in the tiny town of Schull. There at the Skibbereen Heritage Center she tours the exhibit of the Potato Famine and begins to learn more of what the people of Ireland suffered in the centuries before her family emigrated to America in 1849. While discovering the exquisite coastline from the land and ocean, she samples many fine restaurants and pubs as she meets some of the locals, hosts friends and family from home, and delights in a quintessential Irish experience.
Her charming journal entries interweave a visual feast of colorful plein air illustrations, informative hand-drawn maps, and thought-provoking discourse. Whether you read these books before your journey, or simply for the pleasure from your armchair at home, they're sure to become favorites in your travel book collection.
The trilogy begins with We Are the Land, Ireland, continues with Six Degrees of Latitude, Travel Tales of Scotland and Ireland, and concludes with The Hole Made by a Waterfall, Ireland. Before your trip to the Emerald Isle, make sure to take along a pocket-sized Leslie's Field Guide to Ireland, all available through your local bookstore or at LeeStudioTC.com.
