The first book in the famine trilogy
Under the Hawthorn Tree is Ireland's top selling children's book and a classic for young readers worldwide. Set during the Irish famine, it follows three children as they travel across the country to find their family.
Both of my daughters were read this by their teacher in school - they were so taken by it that they called me to read it - I loved it too! I send the second book to members in Mat 2024 MyIrelandBox - they don’t need to be read in order.Â
Wonderful story and I love all three in the trilogy.
