    About this ebook

    "John Bull's Other Island" is an entertaining comedy about Ireland. It revolves around Larry Doyle, originally from Ireland, who has adopted English cultural customs and manners to fit in in England. Moreover, it has another engaging character Tom Broadbent, who is Doyle's English business partner. They are civil engineers who run a firm in London. The adventure begins when the pair goes to Roscullen, where Doyle was born, to acquire some land.
