Ireland by Frank Delaney Book Summary

“Dramatic, adventurous, heroic, romantic. . . these historical chronicles, legends, myths, tall tales and fables, featuring warriors, kings, monks, explorers and clever common folk, imaginatively tell the history of Ireland.”  — Philadelphia Inquirer

This New York Times bestselling epic is an unforgettable tour de force that marries the intimate, passionate texture of the Irish spirit with a historical scope that is sweeping and resplendent. Storyteller extraordinaire Frank Delaney takes his readers on a journey through the history of Ireland, stopping along the way to evoke the dramatic events and personalities so critical to shaping the Irish experience.

In the winter of 1951, a storyteller, the last practitioner of an honored, centuries-old tradition, arrives at the home of nine-year-old Ronan O'Mara in the Irish countryside. For three wonderful evenings, the old gentleman enthralls his assembled local audience with narratives of foolish kings, fabled saints, and Ireland's enduring accomplishments before moving on. But these nights change young Ronan forever, setting him on a years-long pursuit of the elusive, itinerant storyteller and the glorious tales that are no less than the saga of his tenacious and extraordinary isle.

Ireland. Just wonderful !!!

Ireland. Disregard what you believe you know about Ireland. Open your mind to an amazing saga which will broaden your knowledge and bring joy to your heart. My upcoming trip will now be experienced with a complete new feeling...going home.

Wonderful, captivating reading. A book that is hard to put down. It provides an entertaining and captivating view of Irish history that would take the reading of several books to garner. A must read!!!

If you love stories.... This book has a very compelling story with many more stories within. The storyteller's tales take you through the history of Ireland, and Ronan's quest takes him, and you, to many of Ireland's locales. I only wish I had read this before I went there instead of after. I would have had a richer appreciation for everything I saw.

Ireland. I don’t usually rate books, but this was thoroughly engaging. It’s a wonderful book and I’ll read it again soon. The insight to Irish history, myth and storytelling kept me up late. I loved it.

As the phrase goes - Brilliant. I've now read this book twice. Once before a trip to Ireland, and now after a trip "home" for a full family gathering of 70 plus relatives from my Mother's side in Skibbereen. I met uncles, 3 of them, my godfather and cousins, all for the first time. But having read this book, growing up with my Mother's own guarded stories and having re-traced Newgrange, Cashel, the River Boyne and other stories within I can easily say I've "lived" there all my life, even with the relatives I've just come to meet. Frank brought them and the country to life, I simply needed the chance to meet them. Much like the Storyteller himself. The story also shows how's the Irish have had to leave home to find home. If you've any Irish blood you need to read this brilliant story and you too will find your home, your kin, your heart warmly within its pages Kevin Hart. 12-2-2013

Ireland!. A fascinating read! I enjoyed this book so much and learned so much and laughed and cried. Frank Delaney is a really great writer. His narrative just flows. The characters feel real like you know them, like you’re sitting at the storytellers feet with rapt attention, waiting in awe for what comes next.

Roots. My maternal grandfather emigrated from County Cork in the late 1800’s. Sadly, he passed many years before I was born, but my mom managed to keep the Irish part of her alive in her soul. This book, which took me a week to read, brought the Irish in my soul to life. It is magnificent. It is essentially Irish, bringing to life the history and the people of my ancestry. I will be reading it again and again…

Gorgeous story!. Such a wonderful story, I found myself obsessively checking what page I was on, not wanting it to ever end. I'll be on to Delaney's Tipperary, next.

Must read. Great booking covering history with a story the works Enjoy

Extraordinary!. A visually stunning book that with words alone paints an enthralling painting of the epic history of Ireland. Funny, sad, poignant, affirming and ultimately unforgettable.
