A great book

There has been quite a bit written about Castles in Ireland. As we discovered when we started to research the history of a tower house castle we are preparing to conserve/restore, the literature varies in value. This book stands out. It provides a great breadth and depth of information while remaining accessible throughout. It is as readable by the novice as by the expert. It achieves this through clear writing, good referencing and excellent illustration and layout.
