On January 30, 1954 a great showman passed away. His name was John Murray Anderson. A few days before, he had submitted to his publishers the final version of his autobiography as told to his brother, Hugh Abercrombie Anderson.

Murray is adept at holding together a complex narrative and creating characters who reach out emotionally to...

The Shannon is Ireland's greatest geographical landmark and the longest river. It is both a barrier and highway. A silver ribbon holding back the rugged landscapes of the west from the gentler plains to the east. On its journey south, the Shannon passes through a huge palette of rural landscapes; where on little-known backwaters, Ireland's wild animals and plants still thrive as almost nowhere else.
