a gorgeous book and a must for anyone interested in Irish fashion -- Dubray Books fabulous book -- Daithi * RTE TV's Today Show * worth picking up ... a fascinating read -- RTE Guide Subtitled History, Tradition, Fashion, Irish Aran is the first in a new series of pocketbooks published by O'Brien Press that celebrate the country's rich and robust heritage. Like the world-renowned sweater itself, the hardcover work is solid, steady, sturdy, and ready for everyday use. Woven with tidbits and trivia, dates and places, old and new photographs, and a sweeping overview of the tradition and cultural significance of the famed pullover, the narrative offers a fascinating insight into the history of both a people and a place. As such, and like the plush cluster of islands off Eire's western coastline, the book is timeless in its exploration of a customary craft. As is said in those parts, the Irish don't just write poetry, they knit it. * Celtic Life International Magazine * an easy read and well-illustrated * Irish Arts Review *
