From the bestselling author of London and Sarum--amagnificent epic about love and battle, family life and political intrigue in Ireland over the course of eleven centuries. The Princes of Ireland brilliantly weaves impeccable historical research and mesmerizing storytelling in capturing the essence of a place and its people.

Edward Rutherfurd has introduced millions of readers to the human dramas that are the lifeblood of history. From his first bestseller, Sarum, to the international sensation London, he has captivated audiences with gripping narratives that follow the fortunes of several fictional families down through the ages. The Princes of Ireland, a sweeping panorama steeped in the tragedy and glory that is Ireland, epitomizes the power and richness of Rutherfurd's storytelling magic.

The saga begins in tribal, pre-Christian Ireland during the reign of the fierce and mighty High Kings at Tara, with the tale of two lovers, the princely Conall and the ravishing Deirdre, whose travails cleverly echo the ancient Celtic legend of Cuchulainn. From that stirring beginning, Rutherfurd takes the reader on a powerfully-imagined journey through the centuries. Through the interlocking stories of a memorable cast of characters--druids and chieftains, monks and smugglers, noblewomen and farmwives, merchants and mercenaries, rebels and cowards--we see Ireland through the lens of its greatest city.

While vividly and movingly conveying the passions and struggles that shaped the character of Dublin, Rutherfurd portrays the major events in Irish history: The tribal culture of pagan Ireland; the mission of St. Patrick; the coming of the Vikings and the founding of Dublin; the glories of the great nearby monastery of Glendalough and the making of treasures like the Book of Kells; the extraordinary career of Brian Boru; the trickery of Henry II, which gave England its first foothold in Medieval Ireland. The stage is then set for the great conflict between the English kings and the princes of Ireland, and the disastrous Irish invasion of England, which incurred the wrath of Henry VIII and where this book, the first of the two part Dublin Saga, draws to a close, as the path of Irish history takes a dramatic and irrevocable turn.

Rich, colorful and impeccably researched, The Princes of Ireland is epic entertainment spun by a master.

Easy to Install and Looks Great
Color: White, Size: 15.7 Inches
These floating shelves are a great addition to my daughter room space! They were very easy to install, and the instructions were clear and straightforward. The material feels solid and durable. I also really appreciated that the package included all the necessary hardware and materials, which made the setup even more convenient. They look great on the wall and serve their purpose perfectly. Highly recommend!

Quality Assurance Lacking
Color: White, Size: 15.7 Inches
The first set I ordered was great; super easy to install, no issues. The second set I ordered the holes on the bottom of the shelves did not match up with the holes on the bar that secures the shelves to the wall so it was impossible to attach the shelves correctly. I'm still trying to figure out a solution. TO SUMMARIZE: First set perfect; second set unusable

Worth it if you're a figure/doll collector!
Color: A. Black Board & Black Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch, Color: A. Black Board & Black Brackets, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 16-inch
I ordered these shelves to display my figures and dolls, and I love the way they look! I ordered 2 sets of the 4 pack in black with black hardware. After looking at reviews, I took the jump and bought them and don't regret it! TL;DR: Listing is accurate, don't use the paper measurement thingy, quality is what you'd expect for the price, doesn't come pre-drilled, easy enough to put together, over all worth it if you're looking for smaller, decent quality, decent price shelves especially if you display figures or dolls. 1. Listing: They are accurate to the measurements! They're only 5.5 inches deep, so there isn't much (if at all) any room for layering. They do feel small, but the listing is accurate!! Mine are paired next to each other to create a "longer" shelf. DO NOT use the paper measurement thingy. Another review mentioned it was un-even, and after holding it to mine, yeah, it was off. I'd highly recommend a stud finder, small leveler, and a white gel pen or marker to mark where to drill if you do. 2. Assembling & Mounting: The shelves didn't come with pre-drilled holes for the mounting options because it was easy enough to screw into. I will warn you that the small screws only came with a singular extra, so be careful about losing them in case it's the same for you... I'd highly recommend doing this on a FLAT surface. I stood the shelves on the side that would be flat against the wall and set the brackets against it. I put one screw in on each side (both brackets have 1 screw to hold them where I want) then I laid it on its top and tightened and added the other screw. I may have done more work than needed, but none of mine are leaning forward or backward super far. I used the "load bearing" mount simply because I like the look but if you intend to put books, I would do the "no drop" design and possibly get some other L brackets for more support since books can get heavy. PLAN WHERE YOU WANT THE BRACKETS if you intend on doing the "load bearing" design or adding any more brackets. 4. Quality: I kind of expected the wood to be a bit thicker/more sturdy feeling, but upon realizing they didn't come pre-drilled, it made more sense. THEY CHIP AND SCRATCH EASILY. If you're like me and don't really care as long as you cant see/don't notice it, then this isn't any concern but they may come damaged cause some of our mail couriers aren't the best. If you stick them in the corner like I did, please be careful about it slipping! I accidentally dropped the second one from a 21-inch TV stand after adding brackets, and the corner chipped (yes, I measured). The hardware is standard screw quality, and the brackets could be better. After reading the broken bracket reviews plus the price, I honestly wasn't expecting much, but they aren't too bad! You can always replace them with another one you like! 5. Overall: I'd say these are worth the price and I see why "customers usually keep this item"! They were easy enough to mount, even if you aren't the handiest man out there. I'd definitely recommend these if you're looking to display anime figures or dolls like I do! They're nice for adding vertical space without sticking out of the wall too much! Definitely good for smaller spaces! I'm very happy with this product and will more than likely return to this listing if I want some decent and affordable shelving! Thank you for reading my review, Im usually hesitant to buy online so I hope it helps you decide if you wanna buy these shelves as well! (Also, in case anyone is wondering the layout, the longest shelf will be 1, the middle length will be 2, the shortest length will be 3. It's the last image of the review!)

Love these shelves! They are sturdy, easy to install, and perfect for organizing bathroom essentials. I used them above the toilet, and they fit perfectly in a small space. They helped me keep things organized while also adding a modern and decorative touch. Great quality and very functional. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom without taking up extra space!
