"Einen Bildband mit malerischen Dörfern zu füllen, stellt in Irland ein echtes Problem dar. Denn: Es sind derer zu viele. Auf der (tatsächlich) Grünen Insel erweckt gerade mal Dublin beim Reisenden den Eindruck städtischer Betriebsamkeit und Dimensionen, wenngleich doch immer nach irischen Maßstäben. Autor Christopher Fitz-Simon wählte seine schönsten Dörfer daher auch nach einem zweiten Kriterium aus: Vielfalt der Farben, der Formen. Z ..."
