A Big Pile of Blarney

by Colin Murphy, Brendan O'Reilly

Overview

The Irish are world masters at talking. The magic behind our silky, colourful (and non-stop) stories is a little thing called 'blarney', or 'the gift of the gab'. But what is it, you ask, and how can you get some for yourself?

The hilarious A Big Pile of Blarney takes you through the history of Blarney Castle and the legend of the world-famous Blarney Stone (not to mention the famous lips that have puckered up to it). By the time you've finished reading, you too will be overflowing with beguiling blarney know-how and mellifluous oratorical magnetism!
