The Exploring English series of textbooks has resonated with countless thousands of Irish students. For many these anthologies provided a gateway to a lifetime of reading & enjoyment of literature. They are still a cherished possession in many households, taken out occasionally & nostalgically to read a story, poem or essay, & perhaps even to read the accompanying notes
- so enlightening for some yet so challenging for others. First published in 1967, the poetry anthology appears again in an exact facsimile of the original edition. So here are all those classics of your schooldays, from such giants of English literature as William Wordsworth, Walter Scott, Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot, & their Irish counterparts, W.B. Yeats, James Stephens, Austin Clarke & Thomas Kinsella. Whether it's the deceptive simplicity of ' Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening' that you remember, the tenderness of ' In Memory of My Mother' or the immortal words from ' Easter 1916', 'A terrible beauty is born'
- this is the book precisely as you will have remembered it. Read once more & enjoy!

Difficult as it may be in understand today, the Exploring English anthology of short stories was revolutionary when first published forty four years ago in 1967. For the first time the short story was to be taught as part of the English syllabus for the Intermediate Certificate. For the first time students of English were introduced to the work of Irish writers such as Liam O' Flaherty, Frank O' Connor, Sean O Faolain, Mary Lavin, Brian Friel & Benedict Kiely. Exploring English has resonated with countless thousands of Irish students. For many it provided a gateway to a life time of reading & enjoyment of literature. For even more it was an icon of their school days with its unmistakeable angular cover design. It is still a cherished possession in many households, taken out occasionally & nostalgically to read a story or two & perhaps even the accompanying notes which were so enlightening for some yet challenging for others. The Exploring English short story anthology is now being republished in an exact facsimile of the original. Times have moved on; many authors who were alive forty years ago are no longer with us but their biographical notes have not been changed. This is the book precisely as you will have remembered it. Read once more, & enjoy! ...

Exploring The Islands Of England And Wales

There are nearly 40 inhabited islands off the coast of England and Wales, and dozens of other uninhabited ones. Some are well-known commercial, financial and holiday destinations, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight; others are small, remote, peaceful and mysterious like the Farne Islands, the Scilly Isles or Lundy. But all the inhabited ones and many of the uninhabited ones are reasonably accessible, and this richly illustrated book provides the first ever guide to them all. With details of their geology, history, flora and fauna, inhabitants and customs, it is also a practical book with information on how to get there, where to stay and eat, island walks and architecture, sites to visit, sights to see and details of relevant websites and contacts.
