#WanderlustWednesday Tucked away in the Irish countryside is a 15th-century Norman tower that W.B. Yeats purchased in 1917 as a summer home. While today Thoor Ballylee is mostly devoid of decorations or furnishings, there is atmosphere aplenty in the four-story structure with a stone staircase spiraling through the tower and leading to a roof platform. The poet's "place full of history and romance" inspired some of his later works, including "The Tower" and "The Winding Stair." #ireland #countygalway #noveldestinations #literarytravel #yeats #wbyeats #poet #poetry #latergram NOVEL DESTINATIONS is in good -- and interesting -- company on the Curious, Odd & Cool table on the first floor at @bnunionsquareny. Huge thx to the awesome staff and for the excellent placement after my impromptu visit last night! #signedcopies #noveldestinations #literarytravel #bookstore #booklover #authorsofinstagram #natgeo #natgeotravel #natgeobooks @barnesandnoble
