Did you ever think there was something funny about Irish history? Turns out you were right. As the centenary of 1916 approaches, this book reveals the funny side of Ireland's story. Using hearsay, rumor, and some brilliant cartoons, writer Garvan Grant and cartoonist Gerard Crowley have created an (almost) factual look at the birth, childhood, and adolescence of the nearly mature nation. Right up to yesterday evening, when the Irish were hard at work trying to create another never-ending economic boom, it sums up the joyous, glorious, and often hilarious experience of being Irish.
