New book from David Byrne

A ‘Sleeping Beauty’ is a brilliant idea that is ahead of its time.

So many breakthroughs in arts or science were like this, lost on their initial audience and only later revived and acknowledged to be great.

This book asks, why do some ideas fall asleep? And how do they wake up?

SEEING WHAT’S HIDDEN
Uncovering Irelands Ancient Ways of Knowing.

Manchán Magan’s final book in his best selling trilogy explores how ancient Irish culture retains deep resonances with other indigenous worldviews - a way of perceiving land, language , nature and spirit as inseparable.

Delighted to have Michael B. Barry’s new book, Catalpa, on our shelves, marking the 150th anniversary of this extraordinary story.

Catalpa recounts one of the most daring and improbable rescue missions in Irish history — the dramatic escape of six Fenian prisoners from Fremantle Prison in Australia, including one from Goleen, West Cork.

Thanks to everyone who browsed and shopped with us over the busy (and warm!) summer months.

As the village slowly quietens we’re looking forward to concentrating on our upcoming Books at One community prize project with WORK SHOP & Siobhan McGibbon (creative schools programme).

The project, centred around the theme of The West Cork Railway, takes place throughout September & October in Scoil Mhuire National School. Pupils will research its history and work together with artist WORK SHOP to help bring it to life.

Keep an eye out for updates as the story unfolds!
