Through The Passages Of Time: Traveller's Tales   

Through the ages, foreign and native visitors have written down their personal impressions of the Ireland of their time, giving a unique perspective on what they saw and on themselves.

From Geraldis Cambrensis in the twelfth century to Olivia Manning in the twentieth, writers have detailed the people and landscape of the country. Whether J.M. Synge or WM Thackery, Thomas Carlyle or Olivia Manning, the changing fates of Ireland's peasantry, landlords and travellers are captured forever in the evocative descriptions heard in the series.
