Aon Scéal Writings from West Kerry
Posted by Nuala Cassidy on
We are delighted to have in stock hot off the press Aon Scéal , a fine collection of prose and poems edited by Mike Venner and Paul Duffy. Aon Scéal is a writing group started in 2019 by Justin Mc Carthy and Paul Duffy, based in Ó Cathain's pub in Ballyferritier. The writings in the book are all original and mainly collected from authors who have been part of the group.
"Like a dawn swim I dived into this collection and came up wanting more"
From an introduction by Dairena Ní Chinnéide.

An Bodach An Unlikely Hero
Posted by Nuala Cassidy on
The third in the series of beautiful and highly collectible hand-made concertina books is a lively rendering i nGaeilge agus Béarla of the folk tale An Bodach by local journalist, Seán Mac an tSíthigh, bunaithe ar an mbéaloideas áitiúil. Bob Ó Cathail’s striking illustrations capture perfectly the humour in this tale of an unlikely local hero who beats Ireland’s fastest runner in a race from the east coast to the west.
Helen Ní Shé and Sean Mac an tShítigh launched the new book last Friday as part of the Feile na Bealtaine festival. Great fun was had by all, the shop was packed to the rafters. This is a limited edition, so get it while you can !
