In a Nutshell Heroes: Daniel O'Connell

Who was Daniel O’Connell? This Irish folk hero was so loved by the people that they called him King Dan. Many stories of his life have been told at family firesides – though probably only half of them are true. But here’s the real story! As a brilliant young lawyer, O’Connell fought against the death penalty and slavery. He also took up the cause of the Irish Catholics, who hardly had any rights at the time. He soon became known as The Liberator – and best of all, he did it all by peaceful means. Want to know how? Read this book, and prepare to be inspired…
