Marianne Heron's guide to a charming array of houses all over Ireland is a companion to her enormously successful guide The Hidden Gardens of Ireland. With her own unique and highly personal style, Marianne introduces each house and brings to life its history. She details the architecture and gives us the backround on the often colourful families that have lived or currently live there. Her descriptions set the mood of the houses, often bringing us to intriguing and unfamiliar places. Illustrated with attractive line drawing throughout, the book provides directions to the houses, opening times, prices and contact numbers. Other books by Marianne Heron The Hidden Gardens of Ireland.
