Book Description
14 b/w illustrations! Light a cozy fire, pour yourself a dram or a pint, and curl up with these charming tales of Christmas from Ireland's past. Here's a personal invitation to share an evening with a wealth of lively characters weaving fantastic, humorous, or sentimental, tales about love, drink, ghosts, and villainy. Rich with superstition and tradition, these aren't ordinary Christmas stories. They have the quintessential Irish spirit, and you can almost smell the succulent goose roasting and hear the glasses clinking. Start with "Galway Jack's Christmas," as three people ponder the past, and love lost and found. Read closely, and you'll see that "Ballymaconkey Christmas Club" plays a variation on Dickens' "Christmas Carol." Another tale drops you right into the middle of 1920s Dublin, where a whiskey-loving bachelor gets tricked into proposing marriage. You'll meet one-eyed, one-armed Barney Broderick, who undergoes a series of hysterical mishaps, and a miser who experiences a dark, gritty fate. Each of these 14 tales will entertain you throughout the holiday season! Trim size: 4 3/4 x 7 1/2.
