Joys of Irish Humor

by Henry Spalding

Book Overview

This delightful volume by a renowned expert on ethnic humor presents the choicest of Irish poetry, limericks, anecdotes, jokes, and words of wisdom. Here we meet the Irishman working on the Erie Canal, on the railroads and in the mines, and as he achieves high political office. Yes, it's all here, just as it has come down to us through the ages: the loving, the fighting, the drinking, the praying, the struggling, and the laughing. Also available...
