Ella Young, Irish Rebel and Mystic by Rose Murphy

Ella Young, Irish Rebel and Mystic by Rose Murphy

Ella Young (1867-1956), an Irish storyteller of Celtic heroes and magic curses, had a fascinating, overlooked life story. She guarded weapons hidden under floorboards for Dublin rebels during the 1920s, hobnobbed with W B Yeats, talked to spirits in the dunes of California's Pacific Coast, and lectured to crowds at the University of California.

'In Ella Young, Irish Mystic and Rebel, Rose Murphy rescues a significant figure from Ireland's "most splendid time"' -- Robert Tracy, Emeritus Professor of English and Celtic Studies, University of California, Berkeley 'This is the fascinating life story of Ella Young, one of the most amazing and extraordinary Irish women of the 20th century ... Very highly recommended.' -- The Cauldron, November 2008

Rose Murphy teaches Irish literature classes at Sonoma State University and has developed an ongoing series of community classes on Ireland's major writers, historical movements and immigration issues. She lives in Sonoma, California and has roots on both sides of her family back to Co Cork and Co Kerry.
