Title: Short, but then, so are leprechauns
Review: Neither scholarly treatise nor lengthy tome, Malachy McCourt's Danny Boy is a short, but sweet, look at a favorite song. He traces, briefly, the history of the tune and the various words that have been sung to it; speculates on who the song's narrator is and what the story refers to; and, has several famous Irish and Irish-American people discuss what the song means to them. This strikes me as a good hostess gift if you're going to a St. Patrick's Day party, or a nice birthday or holiday gift for an Irish-American friend. I wonder why he didn't include a CD with various versions of the song? Maybe for the paperback edition.
