FLASHES OF IRISH WIT
160 Pages Paper Covers Price 30 cents.
BY CARLETON B. CASE.
The best bulls, blunders and banter by the sons and daughters of the Emerald Isle, gathered into one volume for the delectation of all who appreciate a hearty laugh. This is not a mere collection from the ancient Irish authors, with their “Handy Andys” and other butts and jokers, but, in the main, is the best wit of the modern, the transplanted Irishman, the kind that Americans best know and appreciate. You will agree, when you peruse it, that it is the most mirth-provoking collection of real good Irish fun you ever read, and to say that is equivalent to saying that it is a book of unsurpassed humor, for the Irishman above all others “takes the cake” as a natural wit.
