Michael Collins, one of the most famous figures in Irish history, became the most wanted man in the British Empire, a minister in the first Irish government and Commander-in-Chief of the army. He helped to negotiate the Treaty which allowed Britain to keep the Six Counties. This led to the Civil War and the fatal ambush in 1922.

Vincent McDonnell from County Mayo now lives near Newmarket, County Cork. In 1989 he won the GPA First Fiction Award and has since published seven titles for children, including his recent book for younger readers, Titanic Tragedy (2007). Many of his short stories are published and he has won numerous prizes. He has been writer in residence at a variety of locations and gives workshops and readings all over Ireland.
