O'Brien Press Ltd Deadly! Irish History - The Celts
Book SynopsisIrish history isn’t boring ... it’s DEADLY! The DEADLY! Celts came to Ireland from Europe over 2,500 years ago! DEADLY! Celtic heroes! DEADLY! Celtic warfare! DEADLY! Celtic art! But were they more than just bold, bragging bullies? Find out in this DEADLY! Irish History.Trade Reviewa substantial read, offering a skilful mixture of facts, terrible jokes and activities, plus a few full pages of comics … With sections on the origins, the mythology and the everyday life of the Celts, and with a specific nod towards their impact on modern-day Irish culture, these are perfect books for inquisitive kids and may well serve as an impetus towards an interest in History, doing the same job that Look and Learn, World of Wonder and Treasure did for kids in the past … John Farrelly has produced an excellent second entry into this series, demonstrating his skill with both words and pictures. For children with an interest in History, this would be a perfect gift, for others it may well spark that interest. In the hands of John Farrelly, History is not simply a list of dates to be remembered, it is much, much more than that. We can only hope that there is more to come -- Down the TubesTaking many steps further back through Irish history, John Farrelly takes a witty look at the Fianna, Imbolc, chariots, and warrior men and women in The Celts, the second title in his Deadly Irish History series. A caricature artist from Co Down, Farrelly’s approach is fresh, fun, fast-moving, and enlivened by his cartoon illustrations. Such levity does not, however, diminish the book’s factual content, and he prefaces his lighthearted look at Celtic society, religion, laws, and wars with an explanation of its sources. The research of archaeologists and historians; contemporary accounts of the Greeks and Romans, which he warns are “likely to be a bit biased”; and the myths and sagas told by the Celts “around the fires of their roundhouses” and written down centuries later by Christian scribes — these all make up the colourful tapestry of information about a people living in Ireland from around 700 BCE to the arrival of Christianity in the early 5th Century. Farrelly brings it all home to 21st Century children with his deadly guide to cattle-raiding (start by insulting your rival, saying “my sword will give your belly a red smile”); insights into the equity of the Brehon laws; and even crafty ideas for making your own roundhouse — well, you never know, it might come in handy one day -- Evening EchoJohn’s books make history fun and accessible for children -- Newry ReporterFarrelly’s writing and pen-and-ink drawings never miss a beat in this well-informed, witty and irreverent account of the Celts. Its swiftly paced multi-format approach sprinkles the narrative with comic strips, guess-the-answer sessions, roll-the-dice-to-see-which character-you-are games; presents a Celtic fashion show complete with commentary; and shows you how to make your own games board or roundhouse. Its variety of forms means it engages with a variety of learning styles and it never once talks down to its readers. Its companionable wittiness sets it well beyond its English counterparts. Great fun! * Children's Books Ireland *History for all the family … a brilliant book … an easy way of absorbing lots of historical facts * BBC Radio Ulster’s John Toal Show *Inspired and insightful, and filled with down ‘n’ dirty details about the nomadic tribes that settled along the Emerald Isle’s stunning west coast, the slender tome includes sections on storytelling, art and culture, architecture, weaponry, law, religion, food, and more. Presented with bullet points and animated illustrations, the series debut is designed to engage easily distracted audiences (i.e.: young readers). A companion book by the same author, titled The Vikings, is equally entertaining and educational * Celtic Life International *Stocking filler...accessible, anarchic and crammed with cartoons and wacky illustrations, this book is as deadly as Irish history gets! * RTE Guide *The second entry in the series Deadly! Irish History by the talented and brilliant author and illustrator, John Farrelly. We are brought on an action-packed adventure back in time to when the Celts first arrived in Ireland, 2,500 years ago. The author has an appealing style for young children. He writes in a witty, quirky way and the story is full of amazing illustrations. We are kept fully involved with the numerous art and craft ideas, quizzes, comic strips and activities. This multi format style to the story is sure to keep you and your inquisitive pupils highly entertained while making it an easy way to grasp lots of historical facts! It is most suitable for the senior classes. It will be a welcome addition to your resources for the 'Early peoples and ancient societies' strand in the history curriculum.

Ashmolean Museum Discover Ancient Sumer
Book SynopsisSumer was a region of the ancient world that today forms the southern part of Iraq. It is a vast, flat land of floodplains formed by the Rivers Tigris and Euphrates. It was here that some of the world's first cities arose and writing was invented. Archaeologists have explored the remains of some of Sumer's ancient settlements. They have made remarkable discoveries at places such as Uruk, Ur, Eridu, Nippur, Kish and Lagash. These show that the people of Sumer were great artists, builders, inventors, warriors and traders. By 3500 BC the population of some Sumerian towns had grown into cities. The largest was certainly Uruk, which had a population of at least 10,000. At this time this would have been the largest settlement on the planet. Writing was invented by the Sumerians around 3200 BC. This script is known as cunieform script and through it readers can learn about the Sumerians in their own words. Readers will discover what is meant by a ziggurat, how cunieform writing works, the importance of cylinder seals and stories of Sumerian kings, heroes and gods. This fascinating book is perfect for Key Stage 2 readers aged 9 and up to gain a picture of one of the earliest civilisations in the world.
