About the Book

A collection of stories about a pig named Pigin and his friends, Sammy Seal, Sally Seagull, The Badger of Ballsbridge and the fairies who live in Howth Castle. Pig¡n learns how to swim, goes on a magic carpet ride and even gets to meet the President of Ireland! Ages 8 and up with color illustrations. "Pig¡n possesses a winning combination of decorum and joie de vivre, a great role model. Suggs' illustrations have a suggestion of Beatrix Potter, small and intricate, enhancing the generous text, which is amply surrounded by white space. Irish readers will delight in the regional specificity, while others will come away with a sense of a very distinct culture. Genuinely whimsical."-Kirkus Reviews
About the Author:

Kathleen Watkins was a well-known harpist and folk singer when she became the first continuity announcer to appear on screen on Telefis Eireann's launch night in 1960. She has also served on the board of the Arts Council of Ireland and the National Gallery of Ireland, and in recent years has done poetry readings in the National Library and National Gallery of Ireland. She married the broadcaster Gay Byrne and lived for many years in Howth, where the Pigin stories are set.

When Kathleen's grandson, Cian, was three years old - and after every story book in the house had been read and re-read - his granny (aka Nanakit) introduced him to her friend, a little piglet called Pigin. From then on her Pigin stories were a constant request from all five beloved grandchildren. Although Kathleen's Pigin stories have been told many times, this is her first book.

Margaret Anne Suggs was born and raised in the American Deep South, but later moved to Dublin, Ireland, where she completed her Master's Degree at the National College of Art and Design. When she is not drawing, painting and making things, she is a lecturer in the illustration department at Ballyfermot College of Further Education, where she founded the illustration course. Margaret Anne is the Promotions Officer for Illustrators Ireland, a dynamic group of professional illustrators working to promote their craft. She lives near the sea in Co. Dublin with her husband, sons and cat.
