Although this has been the inspiration for two popular films, ” Scent of a Woman” is a great read in it`s original form, a comfortably far cry from the ”hoo-ha” of Pacino & the Hollywood tale it came to be. Two soldiers travel across Italy at the height of summer, passing through Genoa, Rome & Naples. One of the soldiers is blind, graceful, gleefully vicious & wears a prosthetic arm; the other, twenty years his junior, is his guide.

Nowhere in Ireland is there such a rich diversity of walks as Killarney. Thousands visit every year to walk in the beautiful landscape for which Killarney is renowned, and until now there has been no guidebook for these walks.

Jim takes readers through the town of Killarney, out to Muckross and Torc, down to Ross Island, and on peaceful strolls in the
countryside. One of the walks includes a boat trip through Killarney`s lakes. Woven into the route descriptions are historical notes, anecdotes, folklore and natural history to add to the walker`s enjoyment.
