An awesome tale as are all of Ms Llewellyn 's books especially for fans of Celtic history!!! Ms Llewellyn has that special snack of drawing the reader into the story and making them feel as if they themselves are actually there!!! Her attention to detail and vivid descriptions makes it easy to visualize the events that are taking place and to feel the story as if it were your own!!! She is in a class of writers that includes the likes of Anne Rice, and Katherine Neville to name a few!!! Grania is a tale that will appeal to anyone who is a history buff and fans of pirate tales,in fact I consider it one of the most authentic stories of adventure on the high seas that I have ever had the pleasure of reading!!!
