The translations are expanded on and arranged into broad categories that allow interesting connections to be made, and sprinkled with anecdotes and observations about Irish and Ireland itself, as well as language in general. The author includes stories about his own relationship with Irish, and how it fits in with the most important events in his life.\n\nThis is a book for all lovers of the quirks of language.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1786691876\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1786691876.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:O'Séaghdha, Darach\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
