Format:Paperback
I wrote this book as an account of a walking trip that I made across Ireland, following the route taken by the four Flannery brothers as they left home in the 1860s to walk to Dublin and take the emigrant ship to New Zealand. The story of their adventures, centred around the gold rush in Central Otago, is so incredible that it just had to be told, and even by today's standards it is an amazing tale.
If you like to walk, and have even a passing interest in canal and railway history as well as the wider issue of what happened to emigrants when they left Ireland, or if you liked my previous book "Dancing on the Waves", you will enjoy this book.
All the royalties from the book, as well as all the publisher's profits from the publication, go to the Aurelia Trust, and Irish NGO that provides support to abandoned and at-risk children in eastern Europe.
