...almost like being there..., 2008-04-29
Purchased this book as a wedding gift for someone who has always wanted to go to Ireland, but never quite made it there. Many of the other Ireland-related books at Amazon were more like travel guides, etc... This particular book was the only one suitable as a wedding gift. The recipient was delighted. I recommend this book as a great gift item for all wannabe Irish travelers.
A Celebration of Ireland, 2007-02-25
This wonderful volume matches a gallery of photographs that truly capture the beauty of Ireland with a collection of blessings attributed to Irish saints, songwriters, poets, and Irish custom. The effect of the collection is both moving and comforting, especially to those who have been fortunate enough to experience Ireland first hand.
The photography heavily favors the wild and undeveloped Western part of Ireland; visitors may recognize scenes from the Dingle Peninsula and the Killarny area, among others. The blessings are a celebration of Irish spirituality; quotes from early Irish Christians mingle with customary blessings and songs and items from popular Irish writers. They together are an invocation to remember the simple and important things in life.
This book is highly recommended to the reader familar with Ireland and with its spirituality.
DECEPTIVE, 2005-02-10
This book appears to be a normal size book in its add on the web but is infact only 2 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches long.
Nowhere do they tell you that. I was ordering for adults not children.
Thank You for your time.

Dementia are Appropriate, 2002-07-21
The dementia of this book are entirely appropriate. One minor criticism: Ms. Shannon neglected to include an excerpt from the works of the often-overlooked Irish pugilist-poet Fighty McDrunkahan. His cycle of travellers' poems -- "Jaysus, What's This in Me Shoe?" -- is a classic of vernacular Irish literature.
Beautiful and Charming, 2001-11-13
This is a Wonderful book! The pictures are very beautiful, vivid!
And the verses are lovely...I am just thrilled to have bought a copy. Our Public Library even ordered a copy after having looked through mine. Outstanding!! Truly.
