Great little book of Irish sayings. This doesn't contain Irish history or photos but it is filled with great Irish quotes and illustrations. Whether you are Irish or not you will enjoy these quick little sayings.

I was incredibly disappointed in this book. I purchased it for a friend who wants to learn more about the Irish way of life. I lived there for the first 27 years of my life and only 2 of the sayings in this book are authentic. A complete waste of money.
