Ireland's Other History by Hector Mcdonnell
From the uncertain first dawn of human presence on the island, to the defeat of the old Gaelic order at Kinsale in 1602, Hector McDonnell chronicles the lost origins of Ireland's 'otherness'. His drawings are as illuminating and expressive as the ideas he narrates, and will awaken any reader to the extraordinariness of Ireland's past.
HECTOR McDONNELL is one of Ireland's leading artists, exhibiting in New York and Hong Kong, as well as in Ireland, England, Germany and France, with museum retrospectives in Belfast and Darmstadt. He has illustrated several books of Irish ballads, most notably Ireland's Other Poetry and the prize- winning The Night Before Larry Was Stretched. His original passion, however, was for history and archaeology, ignited by an excavation on the island of Kythera in Greece, sketching reconstructions of decorated Minoan pottery on site. He has since published several books of drawings and etchings, including 'A Journey to Tsaparang' and 'A Chinese Journey'. He is also author of 'The Wild Geese of the Antrim MacDonnells' (1996), and an illustrated series, 'The Holy Hills and Sacred Places of Ireland', 'The Irish Round Towers' and 'St Patrick'. 'Ireland's Other History' was conceived soon afer Lilliput's publication of 'Ireland's Other Poetry' in 2007.
