‘…. An enormous amount of material has been gathered together within these covers relating to such matters as the origins of the islanders, the families who settled there, the trauma of the Famine days…very detailed descriptions of the Great Blasket village and the intricate field system, descriptions of lesser islands, with a whole range of pictures – including aerial shots – and drawings covering almost every aspect of island life … the authors have managed, through sheer study, effort and dedication, to produce something of a monumental work in its own field.’
