Publisher's Summary:

Wickedly narrated by David Stifel, and written in 1729, this satiric essay on how to solve Ireland's chronic poverty is perhaps more shocking today than when it was written. In the 1960s, when Peter O'Toole did a public reading of this piece in Dublin, he very nearly started a riot. Newspapers the following day lambasted O'Toole's "shocking bad taste."

Whether shocking satire, or Monty-Pythonesque surrealism, this essay has continually managed to offend people for well over 3 centuries. Enjoy! (and Thank You!)

AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY

Audible sold an audio version that isn't accessibl

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

So if the audio isn't available, then why sell it to me? Waste of money and effort.
