Description

Bann, Barrow, Blackwater, Boyne, Erne, Foyle, Lagan, Lee, Liffey, Nore, Slaney, Shannon, and Suir-long celebrated in story and song, Ireland's rivers, together with the Atlantic Ocean, have also been immortalized in stone. Known as the River Gods, the fine sculptures by Edward Smyth decorate the arches of James Gandon's Custom House in Dublin. This special collection provides fascinating information on each river's unique personality, along with the history behind the Custom House itself, all in a handy pocket-sized format. Attractively presented and illustrated and at a very affordable price, this little book is a must for tourist and native alike. - from Amzon
