The books in this series explore the lore, legends, music, and politics of Ireland. Their concise, pocket-sized format is well suited for aficionados as well as those who have a general interest in the topics. 
A clear, chronological picture of the major developments in the history of Ireland from the early Celtic settlers in pre-Christian times through current progressions in the Northern Ireland peace process is presented in this brief and entertaining history. The seismic changes that have shaped the course of Irish history-invasions, colonization, famine, wars, religion, treaties, agreements, and the European Union-are recounted along with a brief analysis of their lingering effects on Irish society. Interspersed among these accounts is information on religious sites and artifacts found throughout the countryside and the social developments of the times.
