Sandi Toksvig is on a quest to find out how Ireland, despite its modest size and population, has spawned one of the world’s greatest literary cultures.
A book lover and collector all her life, Sandi takes us on a journey from the great cities of Dublin and Belfast through the lush countryside of Ireland’s heartlands to the spectacular coastline of County Sligo on the Wild Atlantic Way.
She treads in the footsteps of greats like James Joyce and WB Yeats and meets writers of modern classics, from Marian Keyes to Roddy Doyle.
