Foster's Irish Oddities

Foster's Irish Oddities

"Foster’s Irish Oddities" is a collection of Irish trivia compiled by Allen Foster, in the same vein as "Ripley's Believe It or Not", published by New Island Publishing of Dublin.

Essentially it is an Irish version of "Ripley’s Believe It or Not" books that were once extremely popular. The author spent countless hours rummaging through old books and newspapers.

Painstaking efforts have been made to ensure that all the trivia within "Foster’s Irish Oddities" are correct.
