How Green Was My Ireland? is written by the editor of our business books.

"Through ancient Celtic designs and myths, a woman looks back from North America at the simplicity and complexity of a little girl's life in a remote, charming Irish village."
"Celtic designs come alive on pottery to carry this charming story through the mists and myths of time. As life moves from ancient Ireland, through an idyllic childhood in a fictitious village, to modern-day Canada, these stories and characters come together with insight and humour that will warm your heart and strike a human chord - wherever you're from."

A great gift for a person who enjoys reading or Ireland or village life -- and an exceptional St. Patrick's Day gift!
