Deadly! Irish History - The Normans

You can't go far in Ireland without bumping into a flippin' castle. They're everywhere! There were thousands of castles of all shapes and sizes in Ireland. Because most of them are now in ruins, you'd be forgiven for thinking they're really ancient but they only started springing up in the late 12th century. That's just a dozen of your granda's lifetimes ago (or two dozen of your dad's lifetimes. Or seventy of yours. Or three hundred and forty of your pet hamster's.)

The latest book in the 'Deadly Irish History' series, The Normans is jam-packed with all kinds of interesting facts and stories about castle life. Highly illustrated with cartoons and comic strips, as well as illustrating how castles were built and what medieval fashions were like, it's also full of things to make and do, quizzes and puzzles.
