The Book of Feckin' Irish Trivia cover

More trivia about Ireland than you ever needed to know!

Distract yourself from doom-and-gloom with useless information: guaranteed to make you a hit at parties or gatherings of more than one person!

This book contains jewels like the following:

  • During the first half of the nineteenth century, the average number of CHILDREN per household in Ireland was 10.
