Tales from the Emerald Isle : Jottings from Bray, Co Wicklow

Tales from the Emerald Isle is a narrative about a lost world of social events and pastimes, madcap moments and misadventures, peopled by intriguing characters and colourful figures.

Glimpses of a slower and perhaps more gracious era come to us through its pages, a time that came to an abrupt end with the Great War of 1914-18 and the Irish Troubles. Daphne Maginess (nee Riall) spent part of her childhood at her grandparent's home in Bray. Her personal experiences, vivid memories and half a century of enthusiastic correspondence with her many Irish relatives and friends, fill these pages with lively anecdotes that make for most attractive reading.
