Irish history isn’t boring ... it’s DEADLY!

The DEADLY! Celts came to Ireland from Europe over 2,500 years ago!

DEADLY! Celtic heroes!

DEADLY! Celtic warfare!

DEADLY! Celtic art!

But were they more than just bold, bragging bullies?

Find out in this DEADLY! Irish History.

Farrelly’s writing and pen-and-ink drawings never miss a beat in this well-informed, witty and irreverent account of the Celts. Its swiftly paced multi-format approach sprinkles the narrative with comic strips, guess-the-answer sessions, roll-the-dice-to-see-which character-you-are games; presents a Celtic fashion show complete with commentary; and shows you how to make your own games board or roundhouse. Its variety of forms means it engages with a variety of learning styles and it never once talks down to its readers. Its companionable wittiness sets it well beyond its English counterparts. Great fun!

History for all the family … a brilliant book … an easy way of absorbing lots of historical facts

Inspired and insightful, and filled with down ‘n’ dirty details about the nomadic tribes that settled along the Emerald Isle’s stunning west coast, the slender tome includes sections on storytelling, art and culture, architecture, weaponry, law, religion, food, and more. Presented with bullet points and animated illustrations, the series debut is designed to engage easily distracted audiences (i.e.: young readers). A companion book by the same author, titled The Vikings, is equally entertaining and educational

Stocking filler...accessible, anarchic and crammed with cartoons and wacky illustrations, this book is as deadly as Irish history gets!

The second entry in the series Deadly! Irish History by the talented and brilliant author and illustrator, John Farrelly. We are brought on an action-packed adventure back in time to when the Celts first arrived in Ireland, 2,500 years ago. The author has an appealing style for young children. He writes in a witty, quirky way and the story is full of amazing illustrations. We are kept fully involved with the numerous art and craft ideas, quizzes, comic strips and activities. This multi format style to the story is sure to keep you and your inquisitive pupils highly entertained while making it an easy way to grasp lots of historical facts! It is most suitable for the senior classes. It will be a welcome addition to your resources for the 'Early peoples and ancient societies' strand in the history curriculum. As a history lover this is a much-anticipated series. It is well informed and insightful, and I would highly recommend this new series of books to any fellow teacher or parent. We can only hope that there is more to come!
