A Journey into Ireland's History
Os autores Fatty e John Burke tiveram a ideia de mostrar e contar através de ilustrações grandes fatos sobre a rica história da Irlanda e o resultado é um livro encantador que te convida a lê-lo e relê-lo sempre pois há um pouco de tudo por lá e contado de forma concisa.
A few days ago I uploaded a picture of Historopedia's book cover on Instagram (everyday we post there a new picture, to follow us, just click here) and some people showed interest, so I thought it could be interesting to write a little about it in the blog.Authors Fatty and John Burke had the idea of showing and telling, through illustrations about big facts on the rich history of Ireland, and the result is a charming book that invites you to read it, and always read it again because there a little of everything there, written in a very consie way.
