This new book contains more than fifty of the most entertaining Irish laws--laws which are often as whimsical as the Irish themselves are purported to be. Full-color illustrations.

From prayers to proverbs, ancient customs to homespun advice, this charmingly illustrated compendium perfectly captures the spirit of the Emerald Isle. Included among the pearls of wit and wisdom are a selection of the famous ninth-century triads, beguiling riddles of traditional Irish life, prayers and blessings for all occasions, timeless proverbs, the best of Ireland's toasts, and a fascinating selection of the revered "Brehon" laws.
