They say Ireland is a land of Saints and Scholars, but even if you didn't much like schooling, we all love a tall tale, and we are good at telling one. Whether it's a good old-fashioned ballad or a melancholy tale of unrequited love, I'll tell you a tale with prose and poise and scribe the story whether we're digging or jigging.

There's often no rhyme nor reason in a poem but as far as I am concerned there is no better way to express our feelings and to stir our imaginations and emotions. So, I will continue my sonnets as I ramble in brambles looking for inspiration for my next poem.

Suitable for children from 36 months, James is a large charming Irish teddy bear with a crisp white shirt, black cotton waistcoat with matching trousers, and superb black bowler hat. Made with all new synthetic materials he sits 30cm / 12 in. tall (38cm / 15 in. from top to toes), has soft brown fur and features the Paddy Pals motif on his pad (books are for illustrative purposes only). Paddy Pals are loved by both children and adults with their traditional Irish attire and welcoming smile. The best things in life are the people we love, the places we have been and the memories we have made along the way.
