The book features a diverse mix of Irish luminaries, from giants of Irish history such as Charles Steward Parnell, Michael Collins and Grace O'Malley, to literary legends Brendan Behan, W.B. Yeats, Francis Ledwidge and Maria Edgeworth to Cork-born champion of the working man, Mary Harris, a.k.a. 'Mother Jones', as well as an array of rebels, courtesans, composers and bandits. Featuring pieces from as early as the thirteenth century and from as late as the mid twentieth century, this distinctive work is an original and accessible account of the trivial and tremendous moments from Irish history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848404847\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Island Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52233222226247,"sku":"O4-5G7B-UPQZ","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/71jymWATWKL.jpg?v=1756384624","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/on-this-day","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
