The Story of the Irish Race: A Popular History of Ireland, by Seumas MacManus, assisted by several Irish scholars. Revised Edition, The Devin-Adair Company, Old Greenwich, Connecticut; copyright 1921, thirty-first printing February 1979. Green hardcover in the original green-and-cream Celtic-design dust jacket. Used, good: jacket chipped at the spine ends and corners with small tears and edge wear, the book itself clean and tight in the pages shown.

MacManus's classic narrative history runs from the earliest colonisations, the Tuatha De Danann and the Milesians through Cuchullain, Tara, Fionn and the Fian, St. Patrick, St. Bridget, Colm Cille, the Brehon laws, the Irish missionaries and scholars abroad, the Vikings, the Norman invasion, the Geraldines and on into modern times.

A long-loved, readable one-volume history for anyone interested in Irish heritage, Celtic history or genealogy — and a great gift.
