Bridie's Sayings Finnbarr Dunphy

Prolific author, Finnbarr Dunphy, shares wisdom imparted from family, friends, and random acquisitions, but mostly from his mother, Bridie. Yes, that spelling is correct: Bridie, not Birdie...a nickname that is further explained within these pages. Though she never made it past grammar school, she delighted in "teaching" her children the English language and confusing them with clever phrases. Only many years later did the author come to fully appreciate these blunt iterations and their profound meanings.
