Hilary Bradt's classic account of a journey through Ireland on horseback in the 1980s published for the first time in a single volume.In 1984, Hilary Bradt achieved an ambition from her pony-mad childhood to undertake a long-distance ride. This warm, funny and heart-wrenching account centres on the growing bond between the author and her Connemara ponies, Mollie and Peggy. Using her experience of horsepacking in Peru with saddlebags imported from America, she and Mollie set forth with no decent maps, and only a vague idea of the route. The many challenges and obstacles they face include impassable rivers, bogs, stone walls, and the author's own shyness. The book is also a portrait of a vanished rural Ireland before the Celtic Tiger era, built up from descriptions and conversations with local people.The journey takes Bradt and her ponies a thousand miles south from county Mayo, around the peninsulas of Kerry and Cork, and inland towards Waterford. 'I've never tried hitchhiking with a h…

The Middle-earth created by Tolkien is based on infinite fantasies and echoes the complexity of the real world. Through the disputes and inheritance of elves, humans, dwarves, orcs and other races, it writes an epic narrative and a paean to courage and friendship. In April 2002, the first film in the Lord of the Rings series was released in mainland China. With the publication of Tolkien's original novel at the same time, the love and yearning for Middle-earth began to take root. The series won various visual effects, makeup, costume and music awards, and the soul-shaking story and aesthetic experience also made it a difficult existence to replicate. Today, more than 20 years later, the former teenagers have grown up, and the love for the characters of The Lord of the Rings buried in their hearts has become the determination to break the limitations of the screen an…
