an easy read and well-illustrated

Subtitled History, Tradition, Fashion, Irish Aran is the first
in a new series of pocketbooks published by O’Brien Press that
celebrate the country’s rich and robust heritage. Like the
world-renowned sweater itself, the hardcover work is solid, steady,
sturdy, and ready for everyday use. Woven with tidbits and trivia,
dates and places, old and new photographs, and a sweeping overview
of the tradition and cultural significance of the famed pullover,
the narrative offers a fascinating insight into the history of both
a people and a place. As such, and like the plush cluster of
islands off Eire’s western coastline, the book is timeless in its
exploration of a customary craft. As is said in those parts, the
Irish don’t just write poetry, they knit it.
