Michael Scott will be speaking to some of our student body today, about his writing career. Michael Scott is a prolific writer of novels and short stories, for adults and children, in a variety of genres. His first three books were a culmination of many years traveling through all parts of Ireland, during which work as a dealer in antique and rare books brought him into contact with a huge body of Irish myths and legends, some of which were near-forgotten and had only ever been passed down verbally. Thus began Scott's life-long fascination with the world's many different mythologies. His book, The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel (2007), debuted on the New York Times Bestsellers list (young adult section).
