Did an Irish monk discover America? Which rebel died of having a feckin tooth pulled? And who in the name of Jaysus was responsible for the Pledge? If you've ever wondered how much of our rabble-rousing history is true, and how much a load of wojus oul' bull, then look no further. From the great to the gormless, this book is a hilarious parade of the life stories of Ireland's favourite heroes and gougers. Gathered in a collection of the best anecdotes from our chequered past, it will tell you everything you need to know about our writers, revolutionaries, and rogues. You never know - it might help you win the odd pub quiz as well...





The Feckin' collection returns with a funny, original and quirky take on some of Ireland's most famous faces! Illustrated with photographs and cartoons, the book covers key Irish figures across the millenia like:









William Butler Yeats - Nobel Prize winning poet Saint Patrick - Patron Saint of Ireland Sir Ernest Shacklton - legendary Antarctic explorer Jonathan Swift - the man who wrote Gulliver's Travels Grace O'Mally - the pirate queen who ran Queen Elizabeth's troups ragged Brian Boru - the last High King of Ireland



And many more!

a book to be dipped into or to be used as a quick reference, this would be a useful addition to any Irish persons library -- Irish Echo its worth it for the profile of Pearse alone -- Irish Independent Tis that time of year when people start making lists of potential gifts for their friends and/or family and publishers launch new books to appeal to every personality type and disposition. One of these gift books is Whos Feckin Who in Irish History hilarious if youve ever vaguely wondered who Niall of the Nice Hostages was, or feel like you should know something about Robert Emmett or Wolfe Tone since they keep getting name checked in the sad songs your Da sings when hes knocked back a few, but cant face reading a serious history book about Irish history, Whos Feckin Who in Irish History is the perfect choice a perfect gift or a sly one for that Gaelic-spouting uncle whos always complaining the younger generation dont know about their heritage. Or, you could just treat yourself. Everyone needs a good laugh now and then -- A Trip to Ireland
