Great Stocking Stuffers For Christmas!
Try our two great original books about Irish culture.
Our brand-new story of Irish culture told in quotes: "Every Goose Thinks His Wife Is A Duck." It's an informative and entertaining look at the world's top conversationalists.
From the introduction by author Robert Sullivan:
"How is it that Ireland, a small fleck in the Atlantic with fewer people in it than Belgium, has created a voice that all the world seems to hear? Lacking armies, it has dispatched legions of high-octane conversationalists who have managed to conquer a part of the global imagination.
Whether it’s Blarney, gab, craic or some less tasteful contribution, the Irish always seem to reserve their highest honors for those who can turn the clever phrase."
"Every Goose Thinks His Wife Is A Duck" (the title is from an old proverb) features 135 pages of quotes by Irish poets, politicians, celebrities and pundits, assembled to express a unique Irish viewpoint.
“The more I see of the moneyed classes, the more I understand the guillotine.” - George Bernard Shaw, playwright

“There’s no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary.” - Brendan Behan, poet
