Those who believe they know Inishowen, that attractive peninsula in North DonegeJ, will find in this book many new magic casements opening on the fa.ery wonders of fact and fancy. To the uninitiated it is an irresistible introduction to the highways and byeways of the .. Isle of Owen." All aspects of the author's favourite spot are treated-Inishowen in history, antiquity, song, storY,lore and legend. In particular, some chapters such as" The Botany of lnishowen" (by Dr. Lloyd Pra.eger) : .. Epochs and Eras" (by Professor R. A. S. MaceJister): .. Folklore" (by Sam Henry), stand out. The Poetry section is full of interest and the" Place Names of lnishowen" well and exhaustively compiled. It is a pity that the Statistics section has not been brought more up to date.
