Using a combination of numerous tales about interesting people from every walk of life in County Tipperary, every page revitalises scenes from the past, from a goldmining prospector in Alaska to an international designer's achievement in China.
It brings the past to life, featuring a militaria collector, a records enthusiast, an organic farmer, an England-based Thurles Blues musician, amongst many other engaging personalities.
Attention to the ordinary and the extraordinary is brought to you by Tom Ryan who has been writing about County Tipperary life for over 50 years in regional and national publications and other media accompanied by a number of photographs by his daughter Bríd Ryan.
