When St Patrick first set foot in Ireland it was as a captured slave with an uncertain future in a little-known country. But following his conversion and eventual escape back to his homeland he had a dream instructing him to return to Ireland as a missionary. The dream changed the future of a pagan land. Alf McCreary takes us back through time to the places which the saint visited and describes the events which happened at each. Today we can still see many of the places Patrick visited and directions and visitor information are included, making this an ideal introduction to Ireland's patron saint.
