Book Description
At a time when priests patrolled the narrow country lanes at night, searching with sticks and even with dogs, for courting couples, Dan Paddy Andy, the matchmaker, came in for ringing denunciations from the Church. Archdeacon Browne intoned from the pulpit: 'There is a wild man descending from the mountains and it is the man of the triple name: Dan Paddy Andy.' Here is a colourful and humorous portrait of the last of the great Irish matchmakers, who claimed responsibility for over 400 marriages. His wit and escapades are magnificently described by Irish literary legend John B. Keane.
