Kilkenny is a city and county in Ireland. Once the capital of medieval Ireland, the city still retains the title. 99 Lives is a collection of short biographies of men and women from Kilkenny's past. Some have changed the lives of people in Kilkenny but many had left to far off lands to make their mark. Many have drifted from the memory of people today and the book reminds us of their lives. Not just the great but also the lowest have been chosen for the book. - Alice Kyteler, the woman at the center of Ireland's first witch burning - Michael Byrne, the blind fiddler in the crew of the Bounty who chose to leave with Captain Bligh but was prevented by the mutineers - James Hoban, the architect of the White House - Mary Doyle, mother of Arthur Conan Doyle and arguably Sherlock Holmes' 'grandmother'. - Mabel Cahill, Ireland's only Double Grand Slam tennis winner
