Great Books For Your Next Trip to Northern Ireland

May 22, 2018 by Crystal McClean

Northern Ireland is hot becoming the place to visit!  It’s changed so much since I first arrived 14 years ago. We’ve certainly had our differences, but we’ve also grown fond of each other.  It’s so very different from Canada and Japan!  To help you plan your next family visit, I thought I’d share some books with you.  Most of these books we either have in our own personal collection or have borrowed from the library, and a couple we’ve also reviewed here on the blog.

Books About Northern Ireland

Interesting facts about Northern Ireland:

Books about Northern Ireland for kids

  • Fact Cat: United Kingdom: Northern Ireland: This book has lots of colourful photos and bit of information.
  • Let’s Visit: Northern Ireland: First visit virtually and then compare it to reality!
  • Favorite Castles: Ireland and Northern Ireland (Volume 2) Who can resist learning more about castles?

We have 2 of these 3 books, purchased to help save special memories about visits to some of our favourite places:

Children's Story Books about Northern Ireland

  • Scrabo and the Brent Goose: Scrabo Tower is now open to the public again, and I have my eye on this book to commemorate a trip we will take there.
  • Finn’s Causeway Adventure: we took this book along with us on a visit to the Giant’s Causeway, of course.
  • Brainy Bot: This book reminds the children of a day in Botanic Gardens in Belfast and watching the squirrels run amongst the trees.

A varied selection of books for young children to pre-teens:

Northern Irish Books for Kids

  • S is for Shamrock: An Ireland Alphabet (Discover the World): I love alphabet books!
  • Samson’s Titanic Journey: A different viewpoint of the iconic sail.
  • The Headmaster’s Cave (The Adventures of George and Flanagan Book 1): This is an adventure set in an area near Whitehead.  (You can read our review here), and there is now a second book available in the series: The Bone Whisperer.

Great Craic!

And if you do make it over here to visit or travel, you’ll find you many want to record your journey or find out where the ‘craic’ is good:

    This is such an interesting collection of books. I’m looking forward to sharing these with my son and learning more about Ireland with him. Thanks so much for hosting the link up!

      They’re good books, and although I have my issues with NI, today I’m loving the unusual sunny weather- which is where I’m headed now on my way to a local craft fair. It’s a good day to be here!

    Nice collection not usually seen online, but I realize you live there so you should know about these books. This is good for us who want to learn more about your area. Thank you.

      You’re right, most of these books I’ve seen in person around the country and purchased. Others I’m interested in. There’s a lot of talent in NI, and I’m amazed at the books available to choose from.
