A land of legend and lore, Ireland is also home to some of the most breathtaking residences in the world, ten of which are explored in this charming book. Take a once-in-a-lifetime tour through these historical homes and castles-all still owned and lived in by the original families-furnished with heirlooms and cherished hand-me-downs.
