Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Whether raising a glass or spinning a yarn, the Irish have long had a way with words - and this delightful volume celebrates that rich tradition.
Packed with clever quips, classic one-liners, lyrical blessings and colourful anecdotes, this collection showcases the Irish genius for turning a phrase - whether used to charm, console or deliver a well-timed jab. Whether you're Irish by birth, heritage or simply at heart, this is the book for you. It's a spirited blend of humour and heart, capturing the many shades of Irish life -the closeness of kin, the magic of storytelling and the joy of laughter.
Perfect for anyone who loves a funny line or a heartfelt toast, The Little Book of Irish Wit & Wisdom is a grand dip into the craic, culture and character of the Emerald Isle.
Sample Content:
""We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."" - Oscar Wilde
""The terrible thing about dying over in Ireland is you miss your own wake. It's the best day of your life. You've paid for everything and you can't join in.""
- Dave Allen, comedian, satirist and actor (1936-2005)
""When anyone asks me about the Irish character, I say look at the trees. Maimed, stark and misshapen, but ferociously tenacious.""
- Edna O'Brien, Irish novelist, playwright, poet and short story writer (1930-2024)
""May the good Lord take a liking to you, but not too soon."" - Irish blessing
Dublin-born Samuel Beckett was a master of bleak brilliance. With dry wit and razor-sharp insight, he explored the absurdity of life, famously writing Waiting for Godot - a play of which it was famously said ""nothing happens - twice."" Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969, Beckett remains a towering figure in modern literature.
