Ireland - In a Glass of Its Own

Peter Biddlecombe has dragged his beleaguered expense account around no fewer than 170 countries, which puts him, literally, miles ahead of every other travel writer. In his latest book—in many ways the perfect marriage of author and subject—Biddlecombe argues that Ireland’s 32 counties can be said to represent the constituent parts of a pint of the black stuff. This is Biddlecombe’s hilarious take on Ireland—not just the coastal areas beloved of normal travel writers, but the bits in between.
