Critics Review
Highly entertaining
Dublin is Pakenham territory, and no better compilers could have been found. Unforgettable: Yeats in action at the Abbey Theatre, Joyce conceiving ‘stately plump Buck Mulligan’ at the Martello Tower, and the staggering human tragedy conveyed by an eyewitness account of the Easter Rising. - History Today
Dublin’s past comes dazzlingly alive… - Publishing NewsErudite and practical simultaneously - Irish IndependentHighly entertaining - Irish TimesA great help towards some understanding of ‘Irishness’; and of ‘Englishness’ also. - SpectatorIt is much more than a traveller’s companion, to be enjoyed and appreciated by all who know and feel for this extraordinary city - Contemporary ReviewAbout The Author
