A Ramble about Tallaght
Albert Perris presents a new and updated history of an ancient place, a place now utterly transformed by progress and modernity, a place unrecognisable even to those who lived there in the 1950s. Building on the work of W.D Handcock's "History and Antiquities of Tallaght" (first published in 1877) and others the book draws on a wide variety of primary and secondary sources. this accessible, entertaining and occasionally humorous book is written for the general reader, bringing the stories of Tallaght's past to life for a new generation. Historical texts are complimented by anecdotes, reminiscence and poetry. Beautifully presented with carefully selected and arranged images, photographs and original illustrations by the acclaimed illustrator Michael O'Brien.
