From saints like Brigid of Kildare to sinners like William Burke from Tyrone, this is a book of rebels, pirates, soldiers and explorers.

Wherever you are in Ireland, there’s a fascinating story, person and site to discover!

This beautifully presented gift book features maps and facts about all the locations and people mentioned, as well as a gorgeous full-page artwork to illustrate each story in!
