Description

A new paperback edition of this popular children's book.

We are going on a long mysterious journey to find out what we can about the Island of Ireland...

The Story of Ireland begins 'After the Ice' and lasts 9000 years. It tells the story of the whole island and its people. The book's 27 chapters chronicle the big picture of invasions, wars, Christianity, famine and a divided island, mixed with tales of Celtic head hunters, mysterious stone tombs, the Vikings, the black death, life in 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.
