[Ronan O'Driscoll · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's funny how a town described as romantic in the foreward has so many writers saying negative things about it in this compendium. A bit of a mixed bag with some good nuggets, especially around the explosion. Who knew Oliver Goldsmith's grand-nephew was such a prat?
