Holland evokes energy in this unconventional book that will acquaint you with the likes of Grace O'Malley, a blazing terror of the Irish seas in the 1500s, and surprise you with a fresh perspective on legends like Bonnie Parker of "Bonnie And Clyde" fame. With wit, wisdon, and flair, this book makes a compelling case for the virtue of getting into trouble.
