Reviews for Weird Dublin: A Miscellany, Almanack and Companion
Reggie Chamberlain-King has combed through some four centuries' worth of magazines, newspapers and books in order to assemble the most incredible cornucopia of criminal trials, medical misbeliefs and general bizarrities of human nature that happened to occur near the banks of the Liffey.
