Pete McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world. Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways. Firstly, obeying the rule 'never pass a pub with your name on it', he encounters McCarthy's bars up and down the land, and meets English hippies, German musicians, married priests and many others. This is a funny, affectionate look at one of the most popular countries in the world.

A Great Read!
I've bought four copies of this book so far, to give away and to replace one that was loaned and not returned. I've read it twice and it's as funny the second time around (I'm now on a third read). It's also a great travel book on Ireland and lets you in on the out of the way places to see that you won't learn about in travel guides. I heartily recommend this book , even if you aren't planning a trip to Ireland.
