Robert Gibbings Bücher

"Lovely is the Lee a beautifully illustrated travel book with wonderful wood engravings begins in Galway, far away from the source of the Lee. A tour around Connemara gives us some very pleasant sketches of pucans, donkey-carts and cottages; Cong brings us antiquities, flint arrow heads and the like. Next we find ourselves in Inisbofin and in Aran and then we find ourselves in Cork which Robert Gibbings claims is the loveliest city in the world. Cork is the loveliest city in the world. Anyone who doesn't agree with me either was not born there or is prejudiced. The streets are wide, the quays are clean, the bridges are noble... It is such a friendliest city, too. People that you have never met in your life stop you in the street."
