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.
