4.0 out of 5 stars The gift of the gab, 10 Dec 2007
By Mr. Thomas Cooper - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I RECKON I know a fair amount about Ireland but even I found some little gems in this very entertaining book.
Dracula may have been an Irishman and Glenveagh castle was the site of the world's largest outdoor swimming pool (they heated the lough with steam pipes) ... apparently.
As well as being choc-a-bloc with quirky facts, historical and architectural information, the book's organisation - broken down by county - makes it easy to find stuff relevant to where you live or travel.
It's this structure which gives 'I Never Knew...' the edge over the equally entertaining and probably more odd 'The Irish Companion'(ed) Brendan Nolan. The latter is a great read but you just have to digest it in the order it is served.
