Handfuls of gory, disgusting centuries of laughter – enough to get your socks off! Tudors, Victorians, Greeks and Romans we really love them all, even though they are a bit gory!3.
3. Tom Crean, Ice Man by Michael Smith
Incredible children’s story of danger, heroism, endurance and survival. Tom Crean was an Irish man and this book looks at his amazing adventures in Antartica, the most hostile region of the world. Antarctica is not for ordinary people but Tom was no ordinary man. His exploits began when he was fifteen, ran away from home and lied about his age to join the British navy. His next step into the unknown took him to the frozen wilderness where he spent more time than the famous Scott or Shackleton – and lived longer!
4. Pirate Queen: Morgan Llwelynn
In the sixteenth century, Granuaile, the Pirate Queen, warrior and leader, was the terror of the North Atlantic and the most feared woman in Ireland. Heading a large army and a fleet of ships, she lived by trading and raiding and demanding tribute from all who sailed through her territory. Told partly through letters written to her son Tibbot, it charts the gradual decline of the Gaelic chieftains and traditions of Ireland as Elizabeth Tudor, the ‘Virgin Queen’ of England, extended her power throughout Ireland by bribery and slaughter.
