    About this ebook

    The thought of Ireland, often called the “Emerald Isle”, triggers off many visions in one’s mind; the first thought is “green” as there are few places on earth as green as Ireland in the summer. The next thought is St. Patrick’s Day, followed by green beer, four leaf clovers and Leprechauns. All of those are a rich part of the Irish Culture, but there is far more to the Emerald Isle than just green beer and leprechauns.
