If you think you know Ireland, this book will make you think again. Each
year on St Patrick's Day the eighty million people around the world
claiming Irish ancestry celebrate their spiritual homeland. Millions
more don leprechaun hats and swallow pints of Guinness in an annual
global high-fiving of all things Irish.

Charlie Connelly was one
of them. As a Londoner claiming Irish roots he thought he knew what
Ireland was all about. Then, when he was least expecting it, he went to
live there.

Our Man In Hibernia follows Charlie's adventures
living among the Irish. In an engaging and frequently hilarious tale -
we learn how a tree stump can draw legions of visitors from across the
land and why being on a pig's back is a desirable thing - Charlie
contrasts the cliched shamrock-strewn image with the reality of life in
modern Ireland.
