| book description |

A celebration of Irish thatch. The picturesque, white-washed thatched cottage is an iconic emblem of Ireland. The tradition reaches back in history to the ancient crannÃ³g and one-roomed labourersâ€™ cottages. Beautiful examples of this still-living craft can be found all over the island, from bustling urban centres and quiet country roads to the wild coasts of the west. Since moving into a thatched cottage several years ago, Emma Byrne has become fascinated by thatched houses and the craft behind them. Armed with a camera, a notebook, and a Sat Nav, she took to the roads, travelling the length and breadth of this island to capture the variety and beauty of Irelandâ€™s thatch.Â This beautiful new addition to the O'Brien Heritage series is a celebration of the unique beauty and wonder of Irish thatch.Â The book features a map guiding the reader to over 40 buildings that can be visited, including United Irishmen leader of the 1798 rebellion Michael Dwyerâ€™s hideout cottage in County Wicklow; Americaâ€™s 28th president Woodrow Wilsonâ€™s ancestral home in County Tyrone; Dan Winters Cottage in County Armagh where The Orange Order began; the last minerâ€™s cottage in Kilkenny, the last fishermanâ€™s cottage near Lough Neagh, Thoor Ballylee, the County Galway home of poet WB Yeats; Â and a number of pubs, restaurants, art studios and shops around the country, museums (recently restored Casino Model Railway Museum in Malahide, Dublin) and windmills.
