The Story of Ireland

The Story of Ireland begins ‘after The Ice’ and lasts 9000 years. It tells its history in an engaging format for young readers. The book’s 27 chapters chronicle invasions, wars, Christianity, famine and a divided island in age-appropriate terms. These important historical events are intermixed with tales of Celtic headhunters, mysterious stone tombs, Vikings, the black death, castles, the Titanic tragedy, music, mobiles, and computers. When it ends, a new story is just beginning.

Included in the International Youth Library’s White Ravens 2008 collection and winner of the Irish Children's Book of the Year (Irish Book Awards) 2008.
