"I’ve been listening to and learning folk songs all my life - they have been my inspiration. With this great little publication Aileen is bringing these old songs to new ears and voices.” Christy Moore, renowned folk singer and songwriter.

This is the first appearance in English of six-year-old Lewy and his unique, impressionistic account of a tumultuous few months in the early 1920s. A vivid, warm voice brought to us from the Irish by Mícheál Ó hAodha in this translation of Eoghan Ó Tuairisc’s novella, An Lomnochtán (1977).

A lyrical novella that wears lightly its themes of trauma and loss of maternal language. Winner of European Prize for Literature 2012, from acclaimed Austrian writer Carolina Schutti.
