**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

This compendium of stories from all over Ireland features extraordinary events and people from Irish history. Ireland’s most curious history comes alive through astonishing, sometimes absurd, stories and figures. From the Lismore man who rode to Fermoy in a tub pulled by a pig, a badger, two cats, a goose and a hedgehog, to the fortune discovered in a Belfast piano once owned by destitute sisters, and the Cashel man who insisted on being evicted while lying in his coffin, this is the perfect gift book for anyone with an interest in Irish history and a taste for the absurd.
