I met a woman near Ballycanew, she was cooking Irish stew. ‘I’d love to have a bite or two!’ ‘Can’t,’ she said, ‘but here’s what I’ll do: I’ll give you a slice of my granny's shoe’ From Ballycanew to Tandragree, there’s always something silly to see…! Take a delightfully silly trip across Ireland in this irresistible collection of nonsense rhymes from master storyteller Gabriel Rosenstock and award-winning illustrator Brian Fitzgerald.
