Our friend Fatti might be decamped to the canals of Amsterdam these days but it doesn’t stop her influence back home.
Having brought us Irelandopedia, Historopedia and Foclóiropedia with her dad John Burke, Fatti Burke returns with a series of books for children.
First under the forensics is Granuaile, a look at the Pirate Queen of Connaught.
An original bad ass, Granuaile rebelled against British forces and spent her life at sea bucking conventional expectations.
We crystal-balling Saoirse Ronan in a lead role some time in the future.
