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.\nThis is a book for all lovers of the quirks of language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786691866\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Head of Zeus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51634891063623,"sku":"VF-40GD-1IAJ","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/61voNkzj1-L.jpg?v=1748003071","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/motherfocloir-dispatches-from-a-not-so-dead-language","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
