Granuaile is Ireland's original rebel girl. She was the daughter of a great trader and sea captain, Eoghan O'Malley of Mayo 500 years ago. They lived in a castle on Clare Island and Granuaile spent her childhood on the sea in boats of all shapes and sizes. Granuaile's parents wanted her to do what other girls did and be a good girl and get married and settle down. But Granuaile had other ideas. So she cut off her hair and set out to sea. She captained her own ship and learned to survive on her own and eventually took over her father's business, collecting taxes from other boats and ships. Eventually, she fell in love with a great warrior, Donal O'Flaherty and together they lived a happy life. This book on this histori icon, fearless leader by land and sea, is a must to begin every child's collection of inspiring lives.
