Yesterday I purchased a new book in Eyeries Village called Klondike House written by John Dwyer (a nephew of Michael Dwyer, Chairman of the Beara Association in Boston and Michael's brother, Paddy). It was an absolutely terrific and most interesting book which tells of the Author's time in Kilmacowen Primary School, Eyeries Parish, and later in Eyeries Primary School. It tells of the sheep rearing, cutting the turf , trout fishing in the river, saving the hay, growing the potatoes, milking the cows ------ all the olden ways of doing these (in fact in any part of Beara). It goes on to the Ogham Stone in Ballycrovane which is the highest in Western Europe, & the type of ancient writing on it; Christmas times at home; a number of Poems by Irish authors (including his uncle Michael), life in the Copper Mines of Calumet and Butte in the USA. It is an absolute credit to John, who has also brought out a book titled High Road to Tibet (including China, Nepal, and India as well). Reading John would make you proud to be a Beara man and woman. John has websites in www.JohnDwyerBooks.com; www.Facebook.com/JohnDwyerAuthor; and www.Twitter.com/JohnDwyerBooks John's works. Most impressive reviews have been given by Dervla Murphy, international best- selling travel author, by Bibi Baskin, TV and Radio presenter, by the Cork Evening Echo newspaper, etc. By the way, to get High Road to Tibet: "Travels in China, Tibet, Nepal, and India" use http://www.amazon.co/dp/BOO45YIPSI/ Riobard. -- Riobard (O'Dwyer)
