The Little Book of Ireland is a funny, fast-paced, fact-packed
compendium of the sort of fascinating, frivolous and fantastic
information which no one will want to be without. Full of details about
the country, past and present, this volume covers such themes as wars
and rebellions, food and drink, culture, transport, religion, law and of
course its famous (and occasionally infamous) men and women. A reliable
reference book and a quirky guide, this can be dipped into time and time
again to reveal something new about the people, the heritage, the
secrets and the enduring fascination of this ancient country. Despite
being a relatively small island on the edge of the vast Atlantic there
is always something new, charming, or even bizarre to discover about the
Emerald Isle - and you will find much of it here.
