'In the stories which follow I hope that the rivers will speak to you.'

Flowing from source to sea, our rivers are the life-blood of Ireland. They have shaped the landscape, history, folkore and mythology of the island. And have inspired legends, tales, songs and poetry.

Beginning with the Liffey in the east and travelling clockwise around the country to end with the Boyne, Where the Waters Flow tells the histories, tales and legends of fifteen of Ireland's best-known rivers.

Richly illustrated with historic engravings, wildlife drawings and photographs, old and new.
