Synopsis

In this illustrated collection of over 1,000 proverbs and sayings from all over Ireland little escapes the barb: the priest, the drinker, the lover, Irish society, ideas, virtue and vices. But there is also humour and pride, faith and love ... and the odd word of caution: To praise God is proper, but a wise man won't blackguard the devil! Enjoy a glimpse into the attitudes, morals, beliefs and philosophies of the Irish people throughout the ages. But never forget that: The person that brings a story to you will take away two from you! 'If you like proverbs you will love this book.' (Irish Independent) 'Over 1,000 fascinating, witty, cynical and totally Irish aphorisms ... our verbal legacy, reflecting a high sophistication, mature wisdom and a cultivated social sense.' (Evening Herald) 'A book worth having.' (C O'Danachair, Irish University Review)
