L'Attaque is a classic Irish language book and recounts the part played by a small group of United Irishmen from County Leitrim in the military revolt which was sparked by the landing of French General Humbert in Killala, County Mayo, in 1798.

 

Through the character of Mairtin, O'Tuairisc's novel brilliantly charts the effect of revolutionary fighting on peasant life, the conflicting ideals of the comrades-at-arms and the disorganisation that afflicts their army.

  • The image shows the album cover art for "Grolta na Leisce" by leabhar pictiúr le Barry Wilkinson. It features an illustration of a young boy with dark hair lying on his back and looking up at the sky. The boy's face is partially obscured, but he appears to be smiling or daydreaming. The background has a textured, pastel-colored sky with some green foliage or grass visible at the edges. The album title and artist name are written in a stylized black font on the right side of the cover. The overall aesthetic has a whimsical, dreamlike quality that seems to match the imaginative nature of a children's picture book.
