Did you know that over 189,429 Limerick residents migrated from Ireland between 1851 and 1911? One of these remarkable individuals was George Geary Bennis, a Limerick man who saved the life of King Louis Phillipe of France during a street fracas in 1848. For his heroic actions, he was awarded the title of 'Chevalier.' Another notable Limerick woman was Annie Walsh, who was executed on 5 August 1925 after being found guilty of murdering her husband. In 1849, an Adare man named Hamilton attempted to assassinate Queen Victoria. The Little Book of Limerick is a captivating compendium of information about the city and county, past and present. It delves into the city's buildings and bridges, crime and punishment, tragic accidents, and its famous (and occasionally infamous) men and women. It covers not only the well-known aspects of Limerick's history but also focuses on the details of the everyday man in the street, recording facts that could so easily have been forgotten. As a reliable reference book and quirky guide, it can be dipped into time and again to reveal something new about the people, heritage, secrets, and enduring fascination of this ancient city and county. It is essential reading for visitors and locals alike.
