Patrick Guinness is a direct descendant of Arthur Guinness and worked in the city before turning his hand to a successful writing and lecturing career. Patrick Guinness was born in Dublin. After working in the London financial world he returned to Ireland in the 1990s. In addition to his research on Arthur Guinness, he is a life-long student of Dublin's history, and he has recently become involved in researching Irish genetics. He has worked on several biographies and art-historical books and has been published by Kildare's history journal.
"A lively story that explains the Guinness rise to fame and fortune but also brings in such other famous characters as Theobald Wolfe Tone and Samuel Johnson. Just the book to read while ensconced in a comfortable armchair with a pint of the black stuff at your elbow." --Books Ireland
