GALLIVANTING WITH WORDS: HOW THE IRISH SPEAK ENGLISH (HB)

From the Shakespearean roots of 'We'll have the tay' to the devilish curses of old Ireland, such as 'May the devil make a ladder of your spine', this is a joyful exploration of the language that makes us, well, us. Take a tour around the country, tracing the words and expressions that set each place apart. Revel in the genius of the GAA sideline slagging, the poetry of a sneaky shift and the unapologetic charm of a well-placed curse. This is a love letter to the way we speak and the stories our words carry.
