註釋Life in Ulster in the 17th Century gives this book an historical quality. It gains the attention of the young with a story that they can enjoy, a story of magic as can only be found in Ireland. It is a biography of the early life of Erasmus O'Rourke a young Irish boy living near Letterkenny. Destined to be the worlds most powerful magician, the story is of magic and the method of Erasmus's instruction. You are seduced to understand life in the Irish countryside, and within a castle. Set in the early 17th Century, it shows the life style of the poorer oppressed Catholic classes and of the ruling aristocracy. Erasmus O'Rourke is guided through these times to become knowledgeable in all things, also to attend Trinity College. Dublin. His rapid rise in status within the household of Letterkenny castle prepares him for life ahead. This is not only a fascinating story for the young, it is a detailed reference to the history of Ireland at its most troubled times, and will interest the more mature reader.
