Ireland – In a Glass of its Own –

“Living life as though every day on expenses could be his last, Peter Biddlecombe has finally turned his complimentary airline pen in the direction of Ireland – a nearly ideal marriage of author and subject. In this book Biddlecombe argues – in inimitable and incontrovertible fashion – that the thirty-two counties can be said to represent the constituent parts of a pint of the black stuff. Happily, the author has lost none of his famed thirst.

This is Peter Biddlecombe’s eleventh collection: a hilarious account of the world’s most travelled travel-writer’s adventures around the Emerald Isle – and not just the coastal areas beloved of normal (i.e. lesser) writers, but the bits in between too. Particularly those bits with pubs on them.”
