Hoot Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Does anyone have a great suggestion on an interesting and readable book on Irish history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 A fun starter might be the Horrible Histories Ireland book. You should be able to get it from horriblebooks.com or bookdepository.co.uk (with free shipping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 These sound like a good place to start. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 In case anyone else is interested, DS looked at some and choose to buy: •The Legends of the Celts by Frank Delaney •Ireland: a novel by Frank Delaney •The Irish Americans: a history by Jay Dolan •Wars of the Irish Kings by David McCullough •How the Irish Saved Civilization by Thomas Cahill He's SUPER excited to get started and even turn this into a credit-worthy class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loesje22000 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 It is very interesting and very readable :) as the theme comes back in several books I plan dd has to read I considered it as 'essential' background Literature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
