THE WHISPERING LAND

MYTHS, LEGENDS AND LORE FROM THE WILD ATLANTIC WAY

CARSTEN KRIEGER

Ireland is a land of stories and storytellers, and its untamed Atlantic seaboard is steeped in ancient folklore and fascinating history. A wealth of folk tales, passed down through the generations, survives from the counties of the Wild Atlantic Way, stretching from Kinsale in Cork to the stunning Inishowen Peninsula in Donegal.

Renowned photographer Carsten Krieger has traversed this landscape, absorbing the echoes of the past and unearthing the ancient myths and legends, along with the unique geology, history and heritage on which they are based. From the ‘Old Hag’ of the Beara Peninsula to chilling stories of devils and saints in Sligo and Donegal, the author illuminates this beguiling collection of folklore with over 100 exquisite photographs to create a captivating new perspective on Ireland’s west coast. This fascinating collection is a must-have for tourists and natives alike.

Carsten Krieger is a photographer, author and environmentalist based in County Clare. He has published numerous books on Ireland’s landscape, natural history and heritage. When not working on a new book, he spends his time as an editor for the Crossbill Guides Foundation and as a project manager for AstonECO.

DUBLIN

IN SKETCHES AND STORIES: NEW EDITION

RÓISÍN CURÉ

‘Beautiful sketches bring Dublin to life in stunning new book’ – Dublin Live

Róisín Curé sketches what she sees, wherever she is, from the mundane to the magnificent and everything in between. With her ears and eyes open, she immerses herself in the urban scene and creates a snippet of the world around her in words and pictures, with nothing more hi-tech than a fountain pen and a small box of watercolours.

The bustling, busy city of Dublin is captured here in all its grit and glory, through its buildings and people, as well as conversations with its inhabitants. You won’t find these stories in any guidebook, as they ebbed and flowed like the ink and paint used to create this very intimate portrait of a city and its people.

With more than 125 exquisite artworks, Dublin in Sketches and Stories is a joyous snapshot of the beating heart of the Fair City.

Róisín Curé has drawn all her life and this is her third book on urban sketching. She currently teaches the mindful and colourful practice of urban sketching to students through workshops all over the world, and online; the latter is always live, in keeping with the spirit of urban sketching, which is about living life in the now. She is based in Co. Galway.

THE BENEDICTINE NUNS & KYLEMORE ABBEY

A HISTORY: NEW EDITION

DEIRDRE RAFTERY & CATHERINE KILBRIDE

‘This beautifully illustrated book is a well-deserved tribute to a group of extraordinary women’ –Doctrine & Life

For one hundred years, Kylemore Abbey has been home to the Irish Benedictine nuns, whose monastery in Flanders was destroyed during the First World War. Known in continental Europe as the Irish Dames of Ypres, the community was founded in 1665 and provided education to the daughters of elite Irish Catholics during the penal era. On arriving in Connemara in 1920, the Benedictines established a monastery and opened a boarding school.

This book provides the first fully illustrated account of the Irish Benedictines and their monastery at Kylemore. It also charts the fascinating history of the castle, built by Mitchell Henry and later home to the Duke and Duchess of Manchester in the nineteenth century. The twentieth century saw the Benedictines develop the gardens, restore the Gothic Chapel and open the castle to the public.

Meticulously researched with material from the Kylemore archives, this book provides a compelling account of a unique part of Irish history.

Deirdre Raftery is Professor of the History of Education at University College Dublin, and an elected Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. She has thirteen book publications, including Nano Nagle: The Life and the Legacy (Irish Academic Press, 2018).

Catherine KilBride was Principal of Pembroke School (Miss Meredith’s) and lecturer in Education Management at University College Dublin. She is now an editor, translator and writer. This is her fourth book.

NO PEACE UNTIL HE’S

DEAD

MY STORY OF CHILD ABUSE AT THE HANDS OF DAVY TWEED AND MY JOURNEY TO RECOVERY

AMANDA BROWN

In this candid memoir, Amanda Brown chronicles the unimaginable sexual abuse she suffered from the age of eight at the hands of her stepfather, Davy Tweed.

A lauded rugby player for both Ulster and Ireland, a DUP councillor and prominent Orangeman, Tweed maintained the veneer of upstanding citizen through his political and sporting life, yet the story at home was very different. No Peace Until He’s Dead is a raw and unflinching account of Amanda’s childhood years, which were marred by both the domestic abuse suffered by her mother at Davy’s hands and Amanda’s own appalling trauma, as well as her fight for justice against her abuser.

This transformative memoir was born of Amanda’s courageous pursuit of recovery, and her unwavering determination to find her voice and advocate for other survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. No Peace Until He’s Dead forces us to confront a subject so often obscured by fear and shame, and also serves as a testament that those who have suffered can overcome their past and find happiness.

Amanda Brown was born in Belfast and grew up in Ballymoney. She was thrust into the public eye when she took the stand to give evidence against her stepfather Davy Tweed, former Ireland and Ulster rugby player, and her brave testimony went a long way to securing his conviction on a litany of serious sex abuse charges. She has since engaged with the Department of Justice and the Victims of Crime Commission as part of her work advocating for other survivors of sexual abuse. She is now a qualified reflexologist and aromatherapist.

PEACE COMES DROPPING SLOW

MY LIFE IN THE TROUBLES

DENIS BRADLEY

In March 1993 Martin McGuinness and Gerry Kelly held a covert meeting with a British Intelligence agent codenamed ‘Fred’, one that would be a vital step on the road to peace in Northern Ireland. This crucial encounter was arranged by a secret ‘backchannel’ made up of three determined men, one of whom was Denis Bradley.

Born and raised in Buncrana, Bradley joined the priesthood and was assigned to Derry city. Arriving in 1970, he became an eyewitness to the violence of the Troubles – in particular the horrors of Bloody Sunday, at which he was present. Fervent in the belief that only dialogue would bring peace, he became part of the backchannel that for almost thirty years provided a secret link between the IRA and the British government.

This compelling memoir tells the story of his crucial work with the backchannel, his tireless efforts to combat addiction and homelessness in his adopted community, his decision to leave the priesthood, and the challenges of his role in the new Policing Board set up in 2001. Once played out in the shadows, Denis Bradley’s pivotal part in Northern Ireland’s peace process is finally illuminated.

THE HAMILTON NOTES

GEORGE HAMILTON

The incomparable George Hamilton returns with a superb offering of travails and anecdotes spanning his five decades on our airwaves and our screens, always at the heart of Irish culture.

Picking up where his first book, The Nation Holds Its Breath, left off, George continues to illuminate the path that took him from the Cregagh Road in Belfast to the most extraordinary locations across the world. Whether going behind the scenes of his beloved Lyric FM show or reliving the dramatic events of the 100-metre final at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the reader will be captivated once more by George’s storytelling as he expertly weaves tales and paints the most evocative pictures.

Sport, music and travel are intertwined throughout – George’s love for all three evident on every page. His writing style is consistently surprising; the reader is never quite certain where George is taking them, but few will be able to resist being caught up in the stories and going along for the ride.

The Hamilton Notes is a delightful manifestation of the old adage: ‘It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.’ And there could be no finer raconteur to guide the reader along the way.

CARL FRAMPTON

MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY

CARL

FRAMPTON WITH PAUL D. GIBSON WITH A FOREWORD BY PATRICK KIELTY

‘A page-turner’ – The Irish News

Belfast’s Carl ‘The Jackal’ Frampton MBE is no ordinary boxer. One of only three fighters from the British Isles to be named the Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year, he has headlined sellout world championship bouts on both sides of the Atlantic, winning multiple world titles in the process. His dedicated army of fans have traversed the globe to be ringside throughout it all.

But Frampton’s popularity far exceeds the traditional adulation for a sporting icon; he is regarded as a symbol of hope and unity by both sides of the sectarian divide in Northern Ireland.

In this captivating autobiography, Frampton reveals the most personal aspects of being a fighter, and recounts for the first time his highprofile, acrimonious split with Barry McGuigan in devastating and revealing detail. Frampton speaks openly and passionately, not only about boxing, but about his country, how far it has come and the problems it faces. This is a uniquely intimate account of a true modern-day sporting great and a local hero like no other.

Carl Frampton MBE is a former professional boxer from Northern Ireland who competed from 2009 to 2021. He held world championships in two weight classes, including the WBA featherweight title from 2016 to 2017.

Paul D. Gibson is an award-winning author and journalist. His work includes the ghost-written autobiography of UFC star and pundit Dan Hardy and a biography of Irish fighter Eamonn Magee, which won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year.

FUGITIVE: THE MICHAEL LYNN STORY

THE TRUE STORY OF THE EPIC HUNT TO BRING ONE OF IRELAND’S MOST NOTORIOUS FUGITIVES TO JUSTICE

MICHAEL O’FARRELL

‘A story with so many twists and turns it reads like a thriller’ – Matt Cooper

FUGITIVE: The Michael Lynn Story is a fast-paced and thrilling journey into the mind of a reluctant fugitive brought down by his own insatiable greed. This is investigative journalism at its most compelling, placing the reader at the heart of the global manhunt for fugitive Irish lawyer Michael Lynn, and the trials that saw him finally brought to justice.

Facing accusations of massive fraud in 2007, Lynn secretly boards a flight at Dublin Airport and vanishes. With him goes all trace of the millions he secured from Irish banks and clients. A month later, dogged investigative journalist Michael O’Farrell is on his tail, tasked with tracking Lynn down.

From the Algarve to the Black Sea and beyond, O’Farrell pursues his prey until he finally corners Lynn, who agrees to speak to him. However, Lynn continues to avoid the Irish authorities, even spending five years in a hellish Brazilian prison fighting extradition. Now, sixteen years after he first went on the run, he is finally being brought to justice.

This is a truly extraordinary tale of tension-filled encounters involving shadowy fixers, violent Mafia villains, international law organisations, suited, corporate crooks, and the man who thought he could outsmart them all, Michael Lynn.

Michael O’Farrell works as the Investigations Editor for The Irish Mail on Sunday. In November 2023 he was named Campaigning Journalist of the Year for his work with whistleblowers at the Irish Journalism Awards. Michael lives in rural Ireland with his wife and four children.

HUNTED: THE KEVIN BARRY ARTT STORY

HIS WRONGFUL CONVICTION FOR MURDER, DARING ESCAPE FROM THE MAZE PRISON AND LONG FIGHT FOR JUSTICE

DAN LAWTON

On Sunday, 26 November 1978, two IRA gunmen kicked in the front door at 8 Evelyn Gardens in Belfast, the home of Maze prison official Albert Miles. They executed Miles in front of his family and vanished into the night.

In 1983 twenty-four-year-old Catholic taxi driver Kevin Barry Artt was convicted and sentenced to life for Miles’ murder, falsely named by an IRA member-turned-jailhouse-informant. On his way to the Maze in handcuffs, Artt resolutely professed his innocence.

Six weeks into his life sentence, he escaped in one of the most daring and notorious prison breaks in history, fleeing to California and going underground. The epic legal saga that followed spanned one ocean, two court systems and nearly three decades, as Artt was relentlessly pursued by the British government, aided by the US Department of State and the FBI.

Dan Lawton discovered the vital piece of evidence that caused the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal to throw out Artt’s murder case in 2020, and in Hunted, he has forensically chronicled Kevin Barry Artt’s surreal story of survival and redemption.

Dan Lawton is a writer and lawyer based in California. His short fiction and columns have appeared in The Recorder, Los Angeles Daily Journal, The Pensive Quill, The Daily Transcript and Sheepshead Review. Hunted is his first work of narrative non-fiction.

WALLED IN BY HATE

THE FRIENDS AND ENEMIES OF KEVIN O’HIGGINS

ARTHUR MATHEWS

In July 1927, at thirty-five years old, Kevin O’Higgins was assassinated on his way to mass in Booterstown. A memorial plaque in his honour unveiled at the site in 2012 was removed after just two weeks due to persistent vandalism.

In this compelling biography, Arthur Mathews examines the enduring hatred of O’Higgins through the lens of his close friends and many enemies.

Appointed Minister for Home Affairs in 1922, O’Higgins resorted to draconian measures to fight the lawlessness that swelled in the wake of the Anglo-Irish Treaty. In an act that would seal his fate, he signed off on the execution of seventy-seven anti-Treaty prisoners, including Rory O’Connor, who had been best man at his wedding the year before.

As the hostility between former comrades intensified, O’Higgins became a prime target for the incensed Anti-Treaty IRA. Holed up in government buildings in the years preceding his assassination, he described himself as being ‘walled in by hate’.

The complex legacy of Kevin O’Higgins encapsulates the bitter divisions of the Irish Civil War, and he remains one of the most compelling characters to emerge from the conflict.

Arthur Mathews was born in Meath in 1959. With Graham Linehan he co-created and wrote Father Ted and Big Train. He has also written for The Fast Show, Harry Enfield and Chums and Brass Eye. He co-wrote the stage musical I, Keano and the feature film Wide Open Spaces With Matt Berry he co-wrote the television shows Toast of London and Toast of Tinseltown (each a winner of the Rose d’Or), as well as Squeamish About and The Road To Brexit.

THE DISAPPEARED FORCED

PÁDRAIG ÓG Ó RUAIRC

‘Brilliantly researched and highly unsettling’ –Sunday Business Post

The spectre of ‘the Disappeared’, those abducted, secretly executed and their bodies buried in remote locations, has overshadowed the debate around the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland for the last two decades. Yet what most people don’t realise is that ‘forced disappearances’ have been part of violent political conflicts in Ireland for over 200 years.

This groundbreaking book, the first of its kind, looks at the history of this practice in Ireland and identifies all known victims over the last century, from the North King Street Massacre in 1916 right up to 2003. Ó Ruairc upends popular perception of the ‘Good Old IRA’, proving that this organisation was particularly ruthless in ‘disappearing’ victims, much more so than their successors in the Provisional IRA or the British forces in Ireland. The author also reveals how his research has helped locate several bodies of those long missing, one of which has already been recovered and given a proper burial.

Behind each disappearance there is the story of a life cut short and a family left searching for answers. Ó Ruairc deftly incorporates this human element, preserving the memory of those who were disappeared on both sides of the conflict.

Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc is originally from County Clare and has a BA in Archaeology and a PhD in History. He has spent over a decade researching ‘the Disappeared’ and in 2018 his research led to the recovery of the remains of Private George Chalmers, a British soldier who had been secretly executed by the IRA in 1921. This is his seventh book.

THE IRISH REPUBLICAN BROTHERHOOD 1914–1924

JOHN O’BEIRNE RANELAGH

This captivating book delves into the secretive world of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) and its profound impact on Ireland’s political landscape between 1914 and 1924. With the aid of new documentation, Ranelagh unravels the true influence of the oath-bound society without which the 1916 Rising might never have taken shape.

For Michael Collins, the IRB was the true custodian of the Irish Republic, and the only body he pledged his loyalty to, but its legacy remains obscured by its intense secrecy. This book re-introduces the IRB as the organisation that created and furnished the IRA, influenced the result of the critical 1918 election, and changed the face of Irish history.

From Éamon de Valera’s recollections of how he first learned of the Treaty to narratives from Nora Connolly O’Brien, Emmett Dalton et al, testimonies from key figures paint a vivid picture of the IRB’s inner workings and external influence.

A fascinating exploration of secret societies, political manoeuvres, and personal sacrifices, The Irish Republican Brotherhood 1914–1924 casts new light on a pivotal chapter in Ireland’s quest for independence.

IRISH DOCTORS IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR

P.J. CASEY, K.T. CULLEN & J.P. DUIGNAN

This highly anticipated sequel charts the contributions of Irish doctors in the Second World War, a conflict that demonstrated to the world that the pace of military warfare had changed forever.

Advancements in medical care during the interwar years made field medicine almost unrecognisable compared to 1918, but this was tempered by the vast innovations in the machines of war. From the Maginot Line to the Far East, Irish doctors risked their lives in a terrifying new landscape.

Read accounts from Aidan MacCarthy, a Japanese POW present when the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, and heartrending reports from Irish doctors arriving in liberated concentration camps.

With a meticulously compiled Roll of Honour commemorating Irish doctors who served, this book is a powerful tribute to their humanity and indomitable spirit.

Patrick Casey is a founding member of the Medal Society of Ireland. He is a lifelong military medal collector with a keen interest in the profiles of those awarded military honours.

Kevin Cullen is a retired geologist and past president of the Institute of Geologists of Ireland. He compiled and self-published the First World War Roll of Honour for County Monaghan, his native county, in 2010.

Joe Duignan is a retired surgeon and former council member of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. He has lectured on the nature and treatment of wounds and diseases of past military campaigns from the Crimea to the Second World War, and on medical advances during this period.
