Nan Hogan was a leading member of Cumann na mBan, the paramilitary organisation for women which played a decisive role in the Irish war of Independence. Nan was a crucial player behind the scenes in one of the war’s most violent districts. She was later jailed during the Civil War and served several months in Kilmainham. Famed as the prison and execution place of generations of nationalist men, at this point the gaol was strictly for women. Thus Nan became friendly with some of the most radical and influential women of the era. She shared a cell with Grace Gifford Plunkett whose tragic marriage has since become immortalised in a popular song. This book tells her story and is richly illustrated with 275 photos.

A sequel that’s even better than the original! Brilliant photos and stories from a parish with an amazingly rich history. All life is here, including soldiers, artists and a gentleman thief, three bullocks, one comet and a bunch of trainee nuns who like to carve their names on trees.

An illustrated history of Dromoland Castle and the people who lived there. Featuring 300 photos, it’s the story of a family over 8 generations who lived interesting lives and were often key players in the events of Irish History.
