Review Quotes

great read

THE HISTORY OF THE CLADDAGH RING is a very interesting read. It has a lot of facts, secrets, and information regarding the story behind this popular ring. I doubt there is a person among us who has never seen this ring before. I have a bracelet with a fun story. Nancy Warren held a contest to give a bracelet with this symbol on it and I won. She spends a lot of time in Ireland as a lot of her books are based there. It was a thrill of a lifetime for me! I won something!

I had no idea of the history behind the symbol. It is a read you don't want to miss. It is a short read packed with a lot of facts. I highly recommend it. I think all of us enjoy anything Irish. There are a lot of us that have a little bit of Irish in our bloodline. A fun and enjoyable read to get for yourself or as a gift.

I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer, nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am NOT a bot. I am a reader, and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 12/3/2023.

An entertaining book about the Claddagh Ring

I have had a love of Ireland since I was a young teenager and was excited to pick up The History Of The Claddagh since it is my favorite Irish symbol. This book was very interesting and even though I knew about the story of the legend of Richard Joyce, I also enjoyed reading about the history of the ring, the other legends surrounding it, and how to wear it properly.

We had an Irish wedding and my wedding set is a Claddagh, so I loved this book even more. This book is both the perfect read about this heartfelt symbol and also would make a great gift for friends and family who love everything Irish.
