  One of the great pleasures of writing The Whisper has been the opportunity
  it’s given me to explore Ireland in so many different ways—through trips,
  books, Internet sites, music, art and friends. While in Kenmare last
  September, I was introduced to a thick, gorgeous book that I couldn’t resist
  and highly recommend: The Iveragh Peninsula: A Cultural Atlas of the Ring of
  Kerry, edited by John Crowley and John Sheehan. I also read numerous books on
  Irish history, archaeology and the Celts, including The Celts, by T.G.E.
  Powell; The World of the Celts, by Simon James; Pagan Celtic Ireland: The
  Enigma of the Irish Iron Age, by Barry Raftery; Celtic Art, by Ruth and
  Vincent Megaw. My deepest appreciation goes to these scholars and their work.
