Ella Young was a revolutionary on several levels. A prominent figure during the Gaelic renaissance she was a friend and confidante of Maud Gonne who stayed with her on many occasions whilst visiting Dublin from Paris both in the Young family residence in Grosvenor Square and later in Ella's Terenure home. The O'Rahilly was also a visitor where they discussed at length the design of the new Irish flag. She broke all conventions of her era to forge a burning thread through Irish revolutionary history. A sleeper agent, she hid machine guns beneath the floor boards of her various flats. She drove a motorbike and side-car cross-country with wartime dispatches. Her life's work was the translation and the compilation of Irish myth; she was also a mystic and a poet in her own right. This paperback version has been updated since the publication of the hardback edition.
