Winner of the ACIS Michael J. Durkan Prize
‘A magnificent book in which love, loyalty, hard work and excellent scholarship are interwoven as perfectly as the straw used in artefacts created by Irish country people … This volume itself is an object of stunning beauty and will delight everyone … [O’Dowd] has made a lasting contribution to the sum of our knowledge about our country and the skills of its people. We should be very, very grateful.’
