Organised into chapters that look at each region within Ireland, A Celebration of Ireland visually expresses the variety of life and nature that makes this island unique - from the quiet land of fields and thatched cottages to the wild places, the strange limestone country of The Burren, to the wind-swept remoteness of the mountain country to the west and the faster pace of Dublin's city life.

Janice Anderson was born and educated in New Zealand, where she read English and History at the University of Canterbury. Her father's family come from Ireland and her mother's from Scotland, so it is natural that she should be fascinated by both countries, having visited them many times to discover more about her own ancestry. Most of Janice's working life has been in journalism or publishing, as both editor and writer. Although she has several travel books and social histories of England and Scotland to her credit, this is the first she written on the subject of Ireland.
