Entertaining and warm, a real favorite

This collection of Irish stories is a real favorite of mine -- John B. Keane gives us a peek into the rural country lives of his ordinary but colorful townfolk. Circumstances abound and never fail to produce a most humorous or heartwarming story. One particular story can always be relied upon to send me into fits of laughter, no matter how many times I read it!
