John Creedon has always been fascinated by place names, from when he was a young boy growing up in West Cork to traveling around Ireland making his popular television show. In this brilliant new book, he digs beneath the surface of familiar place names, peeling back the layers of meaning behind them to reveal stories about the nature of the land of Erin and the people who walked it before us.

All hold clues to help uncover our past and make sense of that place we call home, feeding both mind and soul along the way.
