This warm, spicy treat of a book is a splendid anthology of Irish writing - stories, poems, songs, letters, folklore, and extracts from famous novels, histories, and biographies. Rich ingredients culled from the work of writers as diverse as Yeats, Behan, Longley, Kavanagh, Joyce, Heaney, Binchy, MacNeice, Kiely, and MacLaverty. Illustrated throughout with appealing woodcuts, photographs, and line drawings, this collection is perfect for dipping into over Christmas and throughout the year.

[Merryellen Towey Schulz · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun little rather random anthology of stories, poems, and tales. Most by familiar authors, including some favorites. I liked the pictures best.
