Not really amusing or uplifting. The are not necessarily humorous or even about Ireland; but they are Authored by Irish writers.
Collection of short stories by Irish writers; collected originally in 1955. Accordingly, the shories have some age to them. Nonetheless, some relate to the ongoing conflict in Northern Ireland, particularly "Something in a Boat" by Padraic Fallon. Others have a fantasy element to them - quite a mix overall, with some well-known names, including James Joyce, Frank O'Connor, Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats.

A favorite "The happy giant", a poignant fantasy by Oscar Wilde,
also outstanding were
"Saint Bakeoven" where a man interacts with Beethoven's ghost,
another fantasy: "Kith of the Elf-folk" where a fairy-like creature becomes mortal and decides it's not for her
"Father Christmas": about a department store Santa
"The hawk": anthropomorphic story and feelings of a hawk from its viewpoint.
Many of the other stories showed different aspects of the Irish character. I liked some of the writing style and cadence of Irish speech.
There should be something for everyone in this grab bag of stories.… (meer)
