This is a lovely coffee table book full of beautiful pictures depicting the old and traditional crafts that began in Ireland. Each chapter is rich with the history of a different craft along with an artisan that keeps up the tradition in today's world. This book is a great way to introduce yourself to traditional Irish crafts you may have not known still existed in today's world, such as making a thatched roof for a cottage. Anyone who is interested in the textile crafts and the traditonal ways of how they are done will also enjoy this book. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in these topics.
