A Tale of Two Cities

John Hall

a-tale-of-two-cities

Through amazing photography, half of this book represents Dublin. The capital city is shown full of life and culture. The other half of the book is dedicated to what is often regarded as Ireland’s true capital city: Cork. Cork has the tallest building, the longest building, the best rugby and football players, and the best hurling. Or so many people would have you believe. This book shows the stark contrasts between the two cities, and it is up to you to decide which is truly best.

A unique perspective on the island, Richard Fitzgerald provides a glimpse into rural Ireland before rural electrification.
