'At one moment you seem to be in the Lake District; then you could be on the moon; they you are in a wilderness; and then beside a Norwegian fjord.' When Edward decided to cycle around Ireland, he was enchanted by prehistoric fortresses, rugged landscapes, and landladies who insisted on washing his shirts. He takes you with him on a gentle ride up the west coast, eating fresh fish and enormous breakfasts along the way, and stopping to chat to peat-cutters, fishermen, eccentric tourists and a famous matchmaker. With his trademark dry wit, observant eye and a sense of the absurd, he is the perfect companion for a tour of Ireland's most beautiful areas from the lakes of Killarney to the idyllic Joyce's Country, and from the dolmens of Clare to the deserts and neolithic remains of Mayo.

一会儿，你似乎在湖区；一会儿，你可能在月球上；一会儿，你在一片荒野中；一会儿，又在挪威的峡湾旁。当爱德华决定骑自行车环游爱尔兰时，他被史前堡垒、崎岖的地貌和坚持为他洗衬衫的女房东迷住了。他带着你沿着西海岸缓缓骑行，一路上吃着新鲜的鱼和巨大的早餐，并停下来与泥炭切割者、渔民、古怪的游客和一个著名的媒人聊天。凭借他标志性的干练机智、观察力和荒诞感，他是游览爱尔兰最美丽地区的完美伴侣，从基拉尼的湖泊到田园诗般的乔伊斯之乡，从克莱尔的石墓到梅奥的沙漠和新石器时代遗迹。
