''Dublin''s past comes dazzlingly alive'' - Publishing News
''Erudite and practical simultaneously'' - Gemma Hussey, Irish Independent

The extracts, from medieval times onwards, include Red Hugh O''Donnell''s escape from Dublin Castle, James Joyce''s plans for a novel while staying at the Martello Tower, and the seizure of the GPO by Irish volunteers during the Easter Rising.
The book also includes gossip and story-telling in the humorous sketches of many famous Dubliners.
