About this ebook
Kerrygold butter. The Dublin Spire. The Buntús Cainte booklet. The DeLorean sports car. All of these things are an indisputable part of Irish history, yet never quite made the school curriculum. Damian Corless uses his trademark wit to trawl through our past and capture fleeting moments on the way to modern Ireland. Old reliables like the Angelus Bell, the Aran sweater, the shillelagh and the Jack Charlton mug spring fresh surprises. This is a seriously entertaining ramble through an alternative history of Ireland that you weren't taught at school. Also by this author: Looks Like Rain: 9,000 Years of Irish Weather

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Kept me smiling, series of snipppets of why things are the way they are and historical bits of information of how things went from accidental to custom and how sometimes Ireland doesn't think through the consequences of actions.Entertaining and fun.
