Kat, glad to see you have discovered Morgan Llywelen. She writes some of the most amazing historical novels that you can find. Her research is impeccable. I would commend these to anyone who loves Irish history. Her forte is trying to show you who the people are behind the legend, and doing it a way that is historically accurate. Her other works are "Horse Goddess" which tells the story of Epona; "Bard" which tells the story of Amergin, "Red Branch" which tells the story of Cuchailian, "Finn MacCool", "Grania" which tells the story of Grace O'Malley, "Strongbow", "Lion Of Ireland" and "Pride of Lions" which tells of Brian Boru, and his son. There are others.

With regard to "1916", it is the first in a series of three books which will tell of the beginnings of the Irish Republic.
