About this audiobook
This little book has been written and published with the main object of spreading as widely as possible among our people, young and old, a knowledge of the civilisation and general social condition of Ireland from the fifth or sixth to the twelfth century, when it was wholly governed by native rulers. The publication comes at an appropriate time, when there is an awakening of interest in the Irish language, and in Irish lore of every kind, unparalleled in our history. (Summary from the Preface)

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A brief history of Ireland. Written at the turn of the 20th Century. Well written and interesting. Learned that the Scots are actually Irish who emigrated to what is now Scotland in the ancient times. I am a historian, half Irish, have read what I thought was a lot on Ireland and never knew this. Weird.
I very much enjoyed the book and intend to read a lot more.
