WHAT AN INTERESTING AND WELL RESEARCHED BOOK.,
This review is from: So you think you're Irish (Hardcover)
This work, by Margaret kelleher, is a collection of 500 questions, a bit of a test for those who feel they know Ireland and the Irish. Now be warned, this is not a list of simple little questions that anyone can answer, even those without an ounce of Irish blood in them (yes folks, there are a few of us out there, believe it or not). These are very, very difficult questions. The book is broken down into different categories. In America, Beliefs, legends, superstitions, history, art, Dublin, Ireland today, words, food and quotes. I promise you that these will challange you and I promise you that, after looking up the answers which the author has (thank goodness) provided, you will come away with a lot of wonderful knowledge, stuff you simple did not know, but which is fascinating. Some examples are:In Irish legend and history, how many provinces were there? When are the earliest settlers reputed to have arrived in Ireland? How may Irishmen have won the Nobel Prize in literature? Who is reputed to have first used the word "Blarney?" This is just a small sample, and truthfully, I picked some of the easier questions as examples here. This is a small book, but a book with a wealth of information. Even if you are not Irish, the trivia you will be able to pick up here is well worth having this one setting on your reading table. As a personal note, my wife, who is Irish/Native American, is an "expert" in both areas. I love to use this little work just to aggrivate her, which pretty well proves that I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer as I dearly pay for each of these little jabs I throw at her. Recommend this one highly. You will love it!
