SynopsisSavor the wit and wisdom, charm and humor of Irish everyday life in words that have stood the test of time. Each delightful, thought-provoking proverb, from the oral tradition, reveals the attitudes, concerns, and down-to-earth vision of ordinary folk. The topics covered are wide-ranging: tenants and landlords, food and drinks, hunting and fishing, money, the law, occupations, and so many more. Here are a few thoughts to live by: It is not the hen that cackles most that lays the largest eggs. A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures in the doctor's book. Be the road straight or crooked the high road is the shortest. If there is a way into the wood there is also a way out of it. Many examples appear in both English and Irish. 128 pages, 5 3/8 x 8 1/4., A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures in the doctor's book.
