A stunning non-fiction picture book introducing the most enchanting Irish words.

The Irish language is filled with rich, evocative words. Some – like smugairle róin – make you look at something quite differently. Others, such as sceitimíní, are simply lovely to say out loud. Words like abhaile and suaimhneas capture a feeling that’s hard to define.

This stunning book captures the most beautiful Irish words: words full of character, sound, folklore and charm and cleverly brings them to life with double page spreads filled with a magical illustration that takes inspiration from the word itself.

This is the perfect book for budding gaeilgeoirí young and old – and a very special introduction to our beautiful language.

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
