'This is no sentimental collection of Irish wisdom - the proverbs chosen by Fiann Ó Nualláin reflect the often challenging, lived experience of a rural people over the centuries.

I find myself thinking about some of these proverbs as I deal with the demands of my day. They are small but powerful life lessons from people who learned resilience the hard way.'

It’s packed with profound insights, obviously a life’s work pulsing throughout. I was never one for ‘holistic’ anything but Mr Ó Nuallàin certainly knows his subject and is never condescending or conveying a know-all attitude.' - Pat, Wexford.
