Review Quotes:
A splendid account of early Irish tourism... This ground-breaking study shows why places such as Killarney and the Giant's Causeway, as well as lesser-known Irish sites, should occupy a central place in tourism history.' --Kevin J. James, Associate Professor, Department of History, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada
