| Publisher Description: The limerick is thought to take its name from the City of Limerick in Eire. It became popular in the mid-nineteenth century after the London-born poet Edward Lear published his Book of Nonsense. So it's a type of poem named after an Irish city and it was first popularised by an Englishman. But what do you call a limerick that's been written by a Scotsman? Why, a McLIMERICK, of course FOUR HUNNER AN' COONTIN' is a collection of over 100 McLimericks. They've all been penned by the Ayrshire writer and poet Angus Shoor Caan as a follow-up to his earlier collections of McLimericks, COONT THUM, COONT THUM AGAIN and STILL COONTIN'. In true Scots fashion, the McLimericks in all four collections are witty, irreverent and sometimes bawdy. In fact, we at McStorytellers, the website dedicated to showcasing the work of Scottish-connected short story writers, were so tickled by them that we rushed to publish them. We hope you'll be tickled by them as well. So please delve into FOUR HUNNER AN' COONTIN'. And if you like what you read go grab copies of COONT THUM, COONT THUM AGAIN and STILL COONTIN'. |
