Adapter Kit: Ireland by Steenie Harvey Traveler's tools for living like a local, the book showcases the country's prime locations, including Co. Kerry, the Lakelands, and Co. Clare. It also also offers valuable insight into cornerstones of Irish culture and includes an appendix with information on tour operators, a metric conversion table, emergency telephone numbers, country codes, and more.

It is not your usual travel guide but page after page full of the very essence of Ireland. The stories are written by authors as contemporary as Frank McCourt and as ancient as a letter written in the sixth century. They will carry you from the pub to a pilgrimage climbing Crough Patrick.

Travel With Kids: Ireland Travel with Kids: Ireland is a great DVD both for those seriously contemplating a family visit to Ireland and for armchair families who just want to vicariously enjoy the experience.

Chickens in the Garden In 2013, Ms. Fadely, one-eighth Irish but one hundred percent American, moved from California to the country she fell in love with the first time she saw it. She didn't buy an old ruin to restore or go on a quest in search of her Irish roots, the things so many other Americans have done and written about, she didn't do anything noble or grand, she simply lived in a place she loved, basking in the culture and delighting in the beauty of the country, and the kindness and humor of the people she met. Along the way she kept a journal and from that journal Chickens in the Garden, Wellies by the Door was born. Click here for Chickens in the Garden
