{"product_id":"9780750999472","title":"The Little Book of Mayo by Eamonn Henry","description":"Did you know?The Westport-Achill railway line has the dubious distinction of fulfilling the seventeenth-century poet and mystic Brian Rua O Cearbh?in's prediction that its first and last trains would carry dead bodies.   Bellacorick boasts a musical bridge, designed by cartographer and civil engineer William Bald in 1820. Each parapet slab emits a different musical note when struck with a stone.   Through quaint villages and bustling towns, this compendium of fascinating, strange and entertaining facts takes the reader on a journey through County Mayo and its vibrant past.   Here you will find out about Mayo's natural history, its myths and legends, its proud sporting heritage - particularly its long-running quest for Sam - and its famous (and occasionally infamous) men and women.   A reliable reference and a quirky guide, The Little Book of Mayo can be dipped into time and again to reveal something new about the people, heritage and secrets of this ancient county.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56299467964789,"sku":"9780750999472","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780750999472.jpg?v=1762785635","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780750999472","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
