For 20 years Paul Clements has been tapping into the Burren’s hidden crevices, drawn to its history, mystery and peculiarities. He writes absorbingly about the rocks, hills and walls, and the range of colours, the animals he rubs shoulders with, and about subjects which excite him, such as the exotic wild flowers, ancient ruins, early morning birdsong, and the smell of whiskey in historic pubs. A hunter and gatherer of information and lore on the Burren, the author ferrets out little-known facts and weaves them together to create these carefully distilled essays.
Paul Clements, from County Tyrone, lives in Belfast and spends part of each year in the West of Ireland researching, writing, walking, and seeking inspiration in the Burren's limestone hills. His acclaimed The Height of Nonsense (2005) was a bestseller. A former BBC journalist, he now contributes to newspapers and magazines and to travel guides to Ireland He is a Fellow of Green-Templeton College, Oxford, and of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland
