Synopsis:
Now, for the first time, we have the cream of Irish humor and folklore in one comprehensive volume, a joyous romp through more than 15 centuries of outrageous blarney, merry myths, and hilarious antics: from the ancient Celtic kings to the Gaels of modern Ireland. Here we have not only the choicest of droll Irish poetry, priceless limericks, and comic anecdotes, but words of wisdom that reflect the social and political history of the Emeral Isle.
