Overview

Ten thousand years ago, the first footprints were pressed into the soil of an island at the edge of the world. This is the story of everything that followed. From the great stone tombs that predate the pyramids to the monks who saved a civilisation with nothing but ink and faith. From the Norman castles rising over green fields to Cromwell's terrible justice and the Mass rocks where a people kept their faith alive in the rain. From the quiet desperation of 1950s emigration to the rainbow lights of Dublin Castle on the night Ireland voted for love. This is Ireland - invaded, planted, starved, and scattered. And stubbornly, magnificently, refusing to disappear. Across thirty-six illustrated chapters and three parts - Ancient, Medieval, and Modern - this book weaves three hundred facts into a single unbroken narrative that carries you from the Ice Age to the present day. Told the way the ancients might have told it: slowly, gently, by the fire. 300 Facts. 36 Chapters. 10,000 Years. One Unbroken Fascinating Story. Beautifully illustrated throughout.
