Who's Feckin' Who in Irish History (The Feckin' Collection) - Hardcover

a book to be dipped into or to be used as a quick reference, this would be a useful addition to any Irish person’s library

it’s worth it for the profile of Pearse alone

Tis that time of year when people start making lists of potential gifts for their friends and/or family and publishers launch new books to appeal to every personality type and disposition. One of these gift books is Who’s Feckin’ Who in Irish History ... hilarious ... if you’ve ever vaguely wondered who Niall of the Nice Hostages was, or feel like you should know something about Robert Emmett or Wolfe Tone since they keep getting name checked in the sad songs your Da sings when he’s knocked back a few, but can’t face reading a serious history book about Irish history, Who’s Feckin’ Who in Irish History is the perfect choice ... a perfect gift ... or a sly one for that Gaelic-spouting uncle who’s always complaining the younger generation don’t know about their heritage. Or, you could just treat yourself. Everyone needs a good laugh now and then

Colin Murphy is the author of The Most Famous Irish People You've Never Heard Of and co-author of the bestselling Feckin collection (The O Brien Press). His debut historical novel Boycott (Brandon) was published in 2012 to great acclaim.
