Ancient cures, superstitions, and proverbs from Ireland. I liked the introductions to the chapters which gave a bit of history. I also enjoyed the proverbs which are so true. The cures would kill you. I'm glad we have modern medicine. I did find the rest boring. I fell asleep reading it.

Skill levels among the readers varied widely, generally stripping the stories of their intended humor or romance.

This is NOT written as a children's book. The language in this book is written in Old English and reads more like a Shakepearean sonnet. I bought this to add to my young son's library, but it is not appropriate for that. I'm sure however that adults who can read Old English with ease would find this book entertaining.
