  'My kind of book.' R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps
  Sent home from school early for troublemaking, 11-year-old Conn hangs out at UCD's National Folklore Collection while his Aunt Doireann finishes up her work.
  When he spots a case marked 'hazardous', Conn just can't stop himself from lifting the lid … Inside lies the ancient skull of the Abhartach – an undead sorcerer of terrible might – and Conn has just set his spirit free.
  Can he defeat the monstrous mind-controlling Abhartach before he regains his full power?
  'Wise, funny, thrilling, and scary, Conn of the Dead is a wonderful new type of adventure. Dave Rudden is a storytelling genius.' Pádraig Kenny

  A cinematic tale of passion, war, loyalty, betrayal, and retribution “These events I relate are the living seeds, and they will bear bloody fruit, I promise.” So says Ulysses, King of Ithaca, as he recounts the origins of the Trojan War. Renowned Greek mythologist Bernard Evslin masterfully depicts the ten-year war: its beginnings rooted in discord among the gods; the seduction of the famed beauty Helen of Troy; and the spectacular development of the Trojan Horse, Ulysses’ cunning ploy to win the war. Evslin brings to life the dramatic twists and turns of this classic tale of human folly, mortal heroism, and the brutality and brilliance that have come down through the ages.
