Winner of the Tipperariana Book of the Year Award 2010.
"Its as good a read for adults, but a really engaging way to read about history for older children & young adults." - Irish Publishing News Christmas Preview 2010.
"An interesting & innovative addition to the huge range of material available on the period." - John Goldsmith, Curator, Cromwell Museum, Huntingdon, England.
"Suitable for ages nine years and over." - Primary Times
"As a primer and a way of engaging young and reluctant readers with Cromwells part in Irish history, this is excellent material and a commendable venture." - Inis Magazine
"For pre-teens and teenagers, Curse of Cromwell is a superb tool not only to introduce history to a largely apathetic reading audience but also to incorporate non-fiction, sequential formatted books into an existing curriculum. For adults wanting a brief introduction to Irish history that spurs an additional drive to learn more from other sources, Curse of Cromwell succeeds admirably." - Graphic Novel Reporter
