"It is often said that the Irish are born with the gift of "blarney" -- the ability to tell a very good tale. This delightful collection brings together the charm of the Irish gift of storytelling in a single volume filled with blessings, toasts, old-fashioned customs, sayings, superstitions, jokes, limericks, and legends. Discover the stories behind such old Irish rituals as jumping over a bonfire on Saint John's day or protecting the butter from the "Little People" on May Day. Why were bachelors better off staying out of sight on Ash Wednesday and what would a maiden see in the mirror on Hallow's Eve? And remember, "May we always have a clean shirt, a clean conscience, and a bob in the pocket"!" --provided by Goodreads. No library descriptions found. |
