Why We Love It:  Inpsired by a collection of stories by local walking guide Marie, you are invited on a journey into nature: a journey of Burren exploration. Focusing on the animals that live there, it is hoped to bring the Burren alive for the reader in a way that allows the imagination to flow. The knowledge shared in the stories, poems and captivating illustrations will inspire children and adults alike to take special care of this wonderous landscape. With great local reviews this makes a lovely gift this season.  About the Authors: Marie McGauran is a qualified guide that for over 12 years has led heritage walksin the Burren, Co. Clare.
