John Hunt: The Man, The Medievalist, The Connoisseur

This lavishly illustrated book tells for the first time the remarkable life story of John Hunt, one of the world's greatest medievalists and someone whose legacy to Ireland lives on today, with most of the major cultural attractions in the Shannon region (Bunratty Castle and Folk Park and the Hunt Museum) owing their existence to either his initiative or generosity. This biography brings together a host of information about one of the most remarkable figures in the 20th century art scene, who collected treasures that can be found in some of the world's major museums.
