The very Irish Whom You Know panel read this, and here is what they thought:
The pocket-sized Little Green Book of Blarney offers a wealth of knowledge about Irish history, culture and traditions. It really is a celebration of everything Irish. For such a tiny book, it packs a lot of punch, and is filled with all kinds of interesting information. I mean, I’m of Irish descent, and I can throw down Guinness with the best of ‘em, but Irish history is something of a mystery to me, and even the fact that present-day Ireland is considered the “‘Silicon Valley’ of Europe” was news to me. Truth is, the more I read in this little book, the more I felt like a fake. Having read it, though, I feel much more informed and I’m looking forward to sharing my new found knowledge with family and friends. I’m even buying a few copies for some family members. Don’t get me wrong, however – The Little Green Book of Blarney is no history book. It’s got all sorts of information in it – even some Irish jokes I’ve never heard mixed in with some of my old favorites. I think I’ll appreciate St. Patrick’s Day a little more this year.
