Book Description
Enniskerry: A History describes the development of this beautiful village from its beginnings as a small settlement by a bridge crossing the Glencullen river to the vibrant center it is today. Using original research, eighteenth-century travel literature and the Powerscourt Papers, the author examines the development of the village over the last 200 years. He goes on to look at the lives of the people who have been a part of this history and how their stories are intertwined with the changing nature of education, religion, and social life of the area. Of course, no history of Enniskerry would be complete without an examination of the presence and influence of the Powerscourt Estate and how it has shaped the lives and the landscape of one of Ireland's most beautiful places.

His quest takes him on a journey through the prince's debauched and dissolute past, across Europe to the misty waterways of Venice where, amidst scandal and suicide, Powerscourt finally unravels themystery of the sweet prince's last goodnight. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK " 'In this excellent novel, Dickinson weaves a tale of blackmail and murder among the royals late in Victoria's reign& [his] knowledge of the arts, history and literature is nothing if not exhaustive, and adds enormously to the overall background& One hopes to see more of Lord Powerscourt and his friends in the near future.' - Publishers Weekly " 'This is detective fiction in the grand style; the characters and the plot soar upwards and carry us in their wake. Powerscourt's debut in this intoxicating book is the start of a gilded life in the archives of crime.' - James Naughtie
